Non-resolving, Progressive, Non-ketotic Hyperglycemic Hemichorea-Hemiballismus Syndrome in an Elderly Male.
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
Non-ketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome is a rare neurological condition associated with hyperglycemia from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. We present a case of a male patient in his late 80s with a background of T2DM who presented with a new onset of progressive involuntary movements involving the left side of his body. Imaging revealed hyperdensity in the right basal ganglia, suggestive of non-ketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea. Management included glycemic control and neuroleptic treatment, with resolution of symptoms in most cases. This case highlights the importance of considering metabolic causes of hemichorea-hemiballismus in elderly patients, glycemic control, and the correlation of these factors with quality of life.
