1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTremor is a hyperkinetic movement disorder defined as a rhythmic, involuntary, oscillatory movement of a body part. It can present as early as in the neonatal period and may be an isolated finding or part of an associated neurological or systemic disorder. Although it is commonly seen in childhood, it is not frequently described in the literature.

objectivesThis review aims to provide a clinically useful overview of pediatric tremors based on the current literature.

methodsWe identified relevant studies published in English by searching PubMed (until February 2024), using the following subject headings: pediatric/tremor, deep brain stimulation, and focused ultrasound.

resultsData from 65 articles were critically reviewed with focus on tremor classification, etiologies, clinical features, and management.

conclusionSome tremor disorders in children can persist into adulthood, however, others are exclusively seen in the pediatric population. The lack of epidemiological and clinical studies in the pediatric population creates substantial challenges for pediatricians, and medical decisions are mostly guided by adult data.
