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

backgroundWhile nystagmus is an involuntary ocular movement relatively frequent, well described, and easily recognized by most practitioners, non-nystagmus hyperkinetic eye movement disorders (NHEMD) are less obvious and can be overlooked. NHEMD may arise from intrinsic abnormalities in ocular muscles and oculomotor nerves, brain and brainstem lesions, systemic diseases, dysimmune disorders, drugs or can even be functional in nature. Given that some treatable disorders initially manifest with NHEMD, their knowledge becomes crucial.

aimsThis review aims to offer a practical and comprehensive guide to recognize specific types of NHEMD, to choose the appropriate diagnostic tests and treatments.

resultsThe review approaches individual NHEMD based on the location of anatomical lesions and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms; therefore, it begins with those arising from abnormalities in extraocular muscles or oculomotor nerves (as for example, superior oblique myokymia and ocular neuromyotonia), then moves to NHEMD due to brainstem and brain involvement (as for example, ocular bobbing, opsoclonus, and tonic downward gaze deviation). Lastly, functional NHEMD and nonnystagmus ocular hyperkinesias associated with specific neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease or blepharospasm will be considered.

conclusionOverall, the review offers a comprehensive reappraisal of hyperkinetic disorders of eye motility.
