Palatal tremor: a literature review and case report.

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
purposePalatal tremor is a rare involuntary rhythmic oscillation of the soft palate which may be found in isolation or in association with other forms of segmental myoclonus. It is seldom reported in the literature and varies considerably in its aetiology, clinical presentation and management.
methodsThe Google Scholar database was searched to retrieve relevant research articles. We also outline a case of essential palatal tremor in a 17-year-old male.
resultsSymptomatic palatal tremor is due to established pathophysiology whereas essential palatal tremor is idiopathic in origin. We discuss the current assessment and management (surgical and non-surgical) of both essential and symptomatic palatal tremor.
conclusionThere is currently no single treatment considered curative for either type of palatal tremor. Further research into and discussion of this rare condition amongst clinicians would be beneficial.
