1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Non-ketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome is a rare neurological condition associated with hyperglycemia from uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus. The disease is diagnosed via clinical presentation, laboratory evaluation, and neuroimaging. With a prompt diagnosis, glycemic control is initiated as the mainstay of treatment. Additional management of chorea symptoms can be completed with neuroleptics. Here, we report a case of a 54-year-old male individual presenting with unilateral, involuntary, and uncontrollable muscle contractions secondary to non-ketotic hyperglycemia. He was managed with strict glycemic control only. Significant improvement in symptoms was noted two months after diagnosis. A complete recovery is expected within six months of onset.
