Holmes Tremor Following Thalamic Tuberculoma-A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Tremor is the most common movement disorder, defined as a rhythmical oscillatory involuntary movement that can affect almost any body part. Holmes Tremor (HT) is an irregular, slow-frequency (< 4.5 Hz) tremor that may include one or a combination of resting, postural, and action tremors. It primarily affects proximal limbs, characterized by a large and irregular amplitude tremor, and often arises due to lesions located in the upper brainstem, thalamus, and cerebellum. We present a case of Holmes tremor in a 32-year-old female patient who presented with a gradually progressive abnormal movement of the left arm for a duration of 1 month. It started one month after she completed a treatment for CNS tuberculoma. She had stable vital signs, and neurologic physical examination revealed a rest, postural, and action tremor, which was characterized by prominent, exaggerated movements occurring at a noticeably slow pace, enhanced with stretching and action, having a wing-beating feature. She had spastic muscle tone on the left upper extremity, with power 4/5 on the same limb, and deep tendon reflexes were 2/4 on both extremities bilaterally. Additionally, there were findings of dysmetria and dysdiadochokinesia on her LUE. Sensory examination was intact, and meningeal signs were negative. Pre- and post-anti-tubercular treatment brain MRI revealed a thalamic lesion that exhibited a decrement in size post treatment with no evidence of gliosis. This case highlights the challenges of management of such a rare movement disorder in a resource-limited setting. The clinical presentation, including a combination of resting, postural, and action tremors, as well as the characteristic MRI findings, led to the diagnosis of HT. Early recognition of this rare disorder, along with neuroimaging, is essential for trial of medical management, as seen in our case, which turned out to be successful at controlling the symptoms, which is cost-effective for our setting.
