Onset of tics in an elderly patient undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. 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
Motor and vocal tics typically manifest during childhood. Less often, tics can occur due to the use of substances or medications which raise dopamine levels. This case report describes an unusual occurrence of tics in an elderly man undergoing androgen deprivation with Goserelin for prostate cancer. Comprehensive assessments ruled out infectious, metabolic, psychiatric, and neurological conditions. The tics resolved with low-dose Risperidone, without adverse effects. This case underscores the potential for medication-induced tics in older adults, highlighting the need for increased awareness among healthcare providers regarding the neuropsychiatric effects of cancer therapies. Future research should further investigate these phenomena and their implications for treatment strategies.
