The cerebellum in dystonia: key player or background support?
Review in Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 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
Since the 1960s, the pathophysiology of dystonia has been primarily attributed to dysfunction of the basal ganglia and their associated pathways. However, growing evidence from both basic and clinical research has highlighted the additional importance of the cerebellum, suggesting that dystonia arises from a motor-network dysfunction involving not only the basal ganglia, but also the cerebellum. Neuroimaging studies reinforce this concept, revealing structural and functional abnormalities in the cerebellum and its afferent pathways in patients with dystonia. Moreover, the dual involvement of the cerebellum and basal ganglia may help explain the frequent co-occurrence of dystonia in patients with ataxia and vice versa. The present review aims to integrate evidence from pathophysiology, clinical studies, genetics, and neuroimaging to underscore the crucial role of the cerebellum in the genesis of dystonia.
