Sustainable Improvement of Anterocollis-type Cervical Dystonia with a Hanger Reflex Device: A Case Report.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 hanger reflex is an automatic head rotation movement. When individuals wear a wire clothes hanger on the head to compress the frontotemporal region, the head spontaneously rotates toward the compressed side. The device to induce the hanger reflex was first developed for treating rotation-type cervical dystonia, followed by the development of a device for anterocollis-type cervical dystonia. However, there is a lack of comprehensive clinical reports on hanger reflex treatments, especially for anterocollis-type dystonia. We present the case of anterocollis that completely resolved after hanger reflex treatment without any other invasive treatment. In the treatment, patients wear the device on their heads for 30 min once per day. Hanger reflex treatment is an easy, simple, noninvasive, and inexpensiveness approach that may be considered the first choice for cervical dystonia.
