Status Dystonicus in Children: Is it more Common than we Realize?
Article 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
backgroundStatus dystonicus (SD) is the most severe form of dystonia, affecting predominantly children. SD is thought to be rare, but the incidence is unknown.
objectiveWe aimed to: (1) assess the number of admissions involving SD (2) describe complications/intensive care unit (ICU) transfers, and (3) evaluate whether these changed with implementation of a treatment pathway.
methodsWe retrospectively collected data for patients with SD admitted to the Hospital for Sick Children from January 2020 to June 2024.
resultsWe identified 92 admissions among 48 patients with SD (20/year). Genetic/metabolic dystonia accounted for 45%. Triggers for SD were seen in 82%. The complication rate was 39%, with 27%/19% of individuals requiring ICU care pre/post-pathway, respectively.
conclusionsSD is common, especially in children with genetic/metabolic dystonia, often with identifiable triggers. More data are required to understand the impact of a clinical pathway. Awareness is necessary to mitigate complications.
