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

backgroundInfection-related movement disorders (IRMD) represent an important group of secondary movement disorders whose prevalence, patterns, treatment and outcomes remain poorly understood.

objectivesTo survey members of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society regarding prevailing practices in IRMD.

methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted.

resultsOf 95 responses received, 75 (78.9%) were from the Asia-Oceania (AO) region and were further analyzed. The highest number of responses was from India (67/75, 89.3%). The most frequent phenotypes included ataxia (64, 85.3%), chorea (49, 65.3%), myoclonus (55, 73.3%) and parkinsonism (43, 57.3%). Tuberculosis-related (61, 81.3%), subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (50, 66.7%), and dengue-related movement disorders (49, 65.3%) were most frequent. Variable outcomes were observed by 46 (61.3%) respondents and 66 (88%) indicated that up to 50% of patients experienced persistence of IRMD.

conclusionsThis survey provides critical insights into prevailing practices in the field of IRMD from the AO region.
