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
Myoclonus is often approached in different ways by epileptologists and movement disorder specialists, leading to confusion in the literature. Multiplicity and inconsistency over the past 2 centuries resulted in a lack of precision and ambiguity of the terminology. We show that this is a current problem in which one phenomenon has been described with many terms and vice versa. Of more importance, we discuss the conceptualization of myoclonus from perspectives of both fields and focus on the borderland that exists, especially in the spectrum of cortical and epileptic myoclonus. By giving 2 examples, we illustrate the conundrum: the spectrum of progressive myoclonus epilepsies and progressive myoclonic ataxias and "cortical tremor" observed in familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy or familial adult myoclonic epilepsy. We attempt to facilitate to bridge these subspecialties and form the base for a uniform understanding to take this issue forward toward future classifications, discussions, and scientific research.
