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

backgroundThe diagnosis of movement disorders relies on identifying the salient phenomenology during clinical examination. Besides a thorough in-person examination, the clinician may rely on video recording, particularly in cases of transient, fluctuating, or paroxysmal movement disorders. As such, this subspecialty has been profoundly influenced by the advent of and access to film, video, and digital documentation.

objectiveThe aim was to review the historical development of video technology in the field of movement disorders, tracing its origins from early observational methods to its modern-day applications in telemedicine, clinical research, and neurology education.

methodsWe conducted interviews with 10 experts in movement disorders, many of whom actively played a role in formalizing movement disorders as a clinical discipline.

resultsOur understanding of movement disorders was greatly advanced by the adoption of film at first and video later. The growing relative ease of access to videos allowed easy clinical use in the clinic and its display during video rounds and conferences. A session at the American Academy of Neurology led by David Marsden and Stanley Fahn played a particularly pivotal role in formalizing phenomenology and establishing video as a tool.

conclusionsThe use of patient recordings paralleled the growth of movement disorders as a field as they played a foundational role in the description of phenomenology, formulation of rating scales, and the education of neurologists. The potential of video recordings continues to be realized, most recently through telemedicine and the adoption of machine learning algorithms in research.
