Functional Neurological Disorder Overlapping Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia Confirmed by Genetic Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Functional neurological disorder (FND) may mimic various kinds of neurologic diseases and may coexist with other neurologic disorders. In cases overlapped by FND, it might be challenging to distinguish symptoms induced by FND and those induced by other underlying neurological disorders, especially when patients show no positive signs indicative of FND. Here, we present the case of a patient who was genetically diagnosed with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD). However, most of the patient's symptoms were considered to indicate FND. To our knowledge, there are no reports of FND overlapping PKD. This case illustrates the possibility that FND can coexist with and mimic symptoms of other diseases. It is necessary to rule out coexisting FND symptoms that may modify clinical presentations that cannot simply be explained by a recognized neurological disease.
