Chorea in Hemodialysis Patients: Report of Two Cases.
Article in International journal of nephrology and renovascular disease, 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
Background: Chorea is rare in maintenance dialysis patients but seriously affects the quality of life, and there are few previous reports of this condition. We report two patients undergoing regular hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease, both of whom presented with progressively intensified involuntary limb movements, but originating from different etiologies. Case Presentation: We report two patients undergoing regular hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease who presented with progressively intensified involuntary limb movements. Treatment with sedatives alone proved ineffective in both cases. Through differential diagnosis, one patient was diagnosed with diabetic striatopathy and managed with intensive glycemic control, while the other was found to have uremic metabolic encephalopathy and treated with a combination of hemodialysis and hemoperfusion. Subsequently the patients' symptoms improved significantly. Conclusion: Choreiform movements in hemodialysis patients arise from a variety of etiologies. These two cases suggested the susceptibility to the onset of chorea in the early stage of maintenance hemodialysis.
