How do I Know That the Jerks I See Are Tics?
Review in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Tics are prevalent hyperkinesias that are most often encountered in the context of a primary tic disorder, as in Tourette syndrome. Although their recognition is typically straightforward, they often share some phenomenological features with other jerky hyperkinesias and may be mislabeled as such. These include myoclonic jerks, dystonia, chorea, stereotypies, as well as functional movement disorders. Here we discuss specific clues from clinical history and highlight relevant phenomenological qualities of tics, as well as their differences from other hyperkinetic disorders. We also showcase a broad range of relevant videos to facilitate correct recognition and labeling of motor phenomena. Our goal is to support clinicians in their diagnostic approach to tics, including their distinction from other jerky movement disorders. We believe that this will not only improve diagnostic accuracy in tic disorders, but it will also expedite appropriate care where needed.
