The enduring enigma of sporadic chorea: A single center case series.
Article in Tremor and other hyperkinetic movements (New York, N.Y.), 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
Chorea can have a wide variety of causes including neurodegenerative, pharmacological, structural, metabolic, infectious, immunologic and paraneoplastic processes. We reviewed the clinical records of patients with apparently sporadic choreic movements and no relevant family history, who presented to our neurology department (Hospital Fundación Jimenez Diaz) between 1991 and 2022. We detected 38 cases of apparent sporadic chorea (ASC); Our analysis revealed 5 cases of genetic chorea (including 3 cases with Huntington's disease) while 6 cases were autoimmune/hematological; 6 drug-related chorea, 5 metabolic-vascular, 5 due to miscellaneous conditions and 4 were of mixed etiology. No clear etiology was identified in 8 cases. The differential diagnosis of ASC is extensive and challenging. Highlights: Chorea can have a wide variety of genetic and sporadic causesWe reviewed the clinical records of patients with apparently sporadic chorea (ASC), who presented to our neurology department over the last 30 yearsWe detected 38 cases of apparent ASC; Our analysis revealed a wide array of different sporadic conditions and 5 cases of genetic choreaThe differential diagnosis of ASC is extensive and challenging.
