Acupuncture Treatment for Ipsilateral Hemichorea Associated With Non-Ketotic Hyperglycemia: A Case Report.
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
For hemichorea associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia, hypoglycemic therapy is the most commonly used and effective treatment modality. However, some patients may still present with residual chorea-like symptoms after glycemic control. Alternative symptomatic treatments, such as dopamine receptor antagonists or antipsychotics, carry the potential to induce tardive dyskinesia, Parkinson-like extrapyramidal symptoms, and other adverse reactions. Herein, we report a rare instance of ipsilateral hemichorea where the patient's symptoms demonstrated significant improvement following a combination of acupuncture and hypoglycemic therapy. A 78-year-old female was diagnosed with HC-NH due to right limb hemichorea persisting over the past month. In conjunction with hypoglycemic treatment, acupuncture was administered. The frequency of right limb hemichorea notably decreased after 2 weeks. Acupuncture might serve as a potentially efficacious salvage treatment option for HC-NH.
