Huntington's Disease: A Case Report of a Patient With a Positive Family History.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) trinucleotide repeat in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, typically presenting with progressive motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms between the ages of 30 and 50 years. This study presents the clinical features of a 48-year-old woman with a three-year history of progressive memory impairment, concentration difficulties, and weakness. Neurological examination revealed psychomotor slowing, mild cognitive impairment, right-sided apparent weakness due to impaired motor coordination, right-sided hypoesthesia, hyperreflexia, mild dysarthria, extrapyramidal gait disturbances, and occasional choreiform movements. Laboratory tests excluded infectious and metabolic causes, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no acute lesions. Electroencephalography (EEG) revealed focal slow waves in the left posterior region without epileptiform discharges, and neuropsychological assessment indicated borderline dementia with depressive-anxiety symptoms. Genetic testing confirmed a pathogenic CAG repeat expansion in the HTT gene (47 repeats in the affected allele), establishing the diagnosis of HD according to European Molecular Quality Network (EMQN) guidelines. This case emphasizes the importance of integrating clinical evaluation, neuropsychological assessment, and genetic testing in patients with progressive cognitive and motor symptoms, particularly when there is a positive family history.
