Inter-rater Agreement for Movement Disorder Classification in Children with Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAccurate classification is essential for addressing childhood movement disorders (MD), but the common coexistence of multiple MDs complicates this process.
objectiveThe aim was to assess inter-rater agreement on classifying hyperkinetic MDs among pediatric neurologists with expertise in MDs.
methodsFive pediatric neurologists were requested to examine 112 videos of 66 pediatric patients. Based on the Movement Disorder-Childhood Rating Scale, 3 queries were posed: (Q1) Is there more than 1 MD? (Q2) What is the (predominant) MD? (Q3) What is the other MD (if present)?
resultsThe final agreement rates were 57.5% for Q1, 66.6% for Q2, and 43.9% for absolute agreement. All videos with absolute agreement at the first evaluation featured 1 MD, whereas only 2 videos with multiple MDs could totally agree in the final review.
conclusionsThis study reveals significant discordance in classification even among pediatric neurologists with expertise in MDs and highlights the necessity for a standardized approach.
