Bilateral Chorea-Ballism Associated With Non-ketotic Hyperglycemia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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 intricate workings of uncontrolled diabetes and its effects on the nervous system are not fully understood. However, it is known that this condition can lead to various neurological manifestations, including altered consciousness and epileptic seizures. In this case study, a 66-year-old woman presented with abnormal ballistic movements and chorea due to severe hyperglycemia. The results of her brain MRI suggested diabetic striatopathy. Fortunately, her symptoms improved significantly with the normalization of blood glucose levels and appropriate medical intervention. While the exact pathophysiology remains elusive, there is speculation that dysfunction of dopaminergic activity may play a role. The management of these complications involves stabilizing blood glucose levels and providing symptomatic relief. Despite the limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms, these neurological complications generally have a positive prognosis.
