Successful Treatment of Tourette Syndrome With a Combination of Guanfacine and Aripiprazole: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a disorder of the nervous system that causes motor and vocal tics. Tics occur as sudden onset, rapid stereotyped purposeless movements or sounds. Combination therapies can be utilized for adequate control of motor and vocal tics. Patients diagnosed with TS and treated with aripiprazole and guanfacine from 2011-2022 at Saint Louis University Hospital were retrospectively surveyed. Three patients with TS treated with aripiprazole and guanfacine experienced significant improvement or complete resolution of their motor and vocal tics. In our cohort of three patients, the combination of guanfacine and aripiprazole significantly improved or resolved motor and vocal tics that were previously poorly controlled on other traditional medications.
