Video Motion Analysis as a Quantitative Evaluation Tool for Essential Tremor during Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy.
Article in Neurology international, 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
The Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST) is commonly used to evaluate essential tremor (ET) during focused ultrasound (FUS) thalamotomy. However, it faces challenges such as the ceiling effect and test-retest variability. This study explored the utility of videographic motion analysis as an evaluation index for ET. Forty-three patients with ET performed postural tremor and line-drawing tasks recorded on video, and the data were analyzed using motion analysis software. The test-retest and inter-rater reliability, correlations with the CRST and tremor scores, and pre/post-FUS treatment comparisons were analyzed. The video motion analysis showed excellent test-retest and inter-rater reliability. In the postural tremor tasks, video parameter amplitude significantly correlated with the CRST and tremor scores. Similarly, for the line-drawing task, video parameter amplitude showed significant correlations with CRST and tremor scores, effectively addressing the ceiling effect. Regarding post-FUS treatment improvements, changes in the CRST and tremor scores were significantly associated with changes in video parameter amplitude. In conclusion, quantitative analysis of the video motion of ET enables precise evaluation of kinematic characteristics and effectively resolves the ceiling effect and test-retest variability. The video motion analysis score accurately reflected the tremor severity and treatment effects, demonstrating its high clinical utility.
