Trial reportPloS one2026
The journey to diagnosis and care of functional neurological disorder (FND).
Trial report in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05455450 (Randomised Feasibility Study of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposeFunctional neurological disorder (FND) is a common condition, associated with high disability and healthcare costs, and poor treatment access. This qualitative study aimed to explore participants' experiences of being diagnosed with functional neurological disorder (FND), accessing treatment, and navigating life after diagnosis. Participants were drawn from a randomised feasibility study of eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy for people with FND (MODIFI, Trial Registration: NCT05455450 (www.clinicaltrials.gov)).
methodsReflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the data from eighteen semi-structured interviews with participants diagnosed with FND.
resultsSix main themes were identified: (1) the process of seeking a diagnosis and initial relief from the physical struggles, (2) receiving a diagnosis of FND, (3) treatment for FND, (4) the burden of FND in day-to-day life, (5) the need to assert agency and return to normal, and (6) hopes for the future.
conclusionThe findings emphasize the need for personalised and compassionate care for individuals suffering from FND, underpinned by increased service provision within the healthcare system.
