Dystonia induced by anticholinesterase drugs: case report and literature review.
Review in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2026. 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
Dystonia (specially Pisa syndrome) is an infrequent adverse effect of anticholinesterase drugs. We report a patient who develop an acute dystonic reaction after treatment with rivastigmine and a narrative review of the previous literature regarding this issue. Anticholinesterase drugs can produce both acute dystonic reactions and tardive dystonia (some begin up to 4 years after the start of treatment). The drug most frequently implicated was donepezil. Slightly more than a third of cases had concomitant treatment with antipsychotics. The most common type of dystonia induced by these drugs is Pisa syndrome, followed by cervical dystonia. Most dystonic episodes caused by anticholinesterases resolve after drug withdrawal. Although the pathophysiology is not well understood, the most plausible hypothesis suggested is its relationship with an acetylcholine/dopamine imbalance.
