ACUTE CHOREO-DYSTONIA IN A NEWLY DIAGNOSED PATIENT WITH DIABETES MELLITUS: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE.
Article in Annals of Ibadan postgraduate medicine, 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
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a disease with diverse macrovascular and microvascular consequences. One of the unusual effects of hyperglycemia is involuntary movement, termed hyperglycemia-induced involuntary movement. This could range from hemibalismus, chorea, choreo-atethosis, tremors to dystonia. Chorea associated with dystonia is a less commonly reported manifestation. When it is focal, it can be misdiagnosed as stroke or seizure disorder. To the best our knowledge, there is hitherto no case report in sub-Saharan Africa describing the occurrence of focal choreo-dystonia in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Case presentation: Here, we present a case of a middle-aged Nigerian woman with focal choreo-dystonia of the right upper limb accompanying the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Achieving euglycemia with insulin resulted in complete resolution of the choreo-dystonia. Conclusion: Doctors in resource-constrained settings should be aware of this presentation to avoid misdiagnosis and to provide prompt and goal-oriented management with a view to reducing morbidity and attendant health-care costs.
