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

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized clinically by the presence of bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor. Although upper limb rest tremor is the most common form of tremor in PD, lip/jaw tremor is identified in a proportion of these patients. Methods: We aimed to assess the frequency, features, and correlates of lip/jaw tremor in PD. Results: We studied 229 consecutive patients with PD. There were 39 (17%) patients with lip/jaw tremor, 22 of them (56.4%) were males. Slight lip/jaw tremor was identified in n = 10 (25.6%), mild in n = 15 (38.5%), moderate in n = 13 (33.3%) and severe in n = 1 (2.6%) case. Patients with lip/jaw tremor had a positive association with older age, greater limb rest tremor scores ( Conclusions: Lip/jaw tremor was identified in 17% of cases; it was associated with greater motor severity and limb rest tremor, suggesting shared pathophysiology with limb rest tremor. A subgroup with isolated lip/jaw tremor showed reduced cognitive performance, but no association with other body tremors.
