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

backgroundChildhood-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE), however, the full spectrum of genotypes and phenotypes remains underexplored.

objectivesWe conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify monogenic NDD and DEE disorders that are reported with hyperkinetic movement disorders-specifically dystonia, chorea, and dyskinesia-and analyzed the frequency of neurological, extra-neurological and phenomenological features.

methodsUsing cluster analysis, we identified data-driven phenotypic groupings to inform diagnostic strategies.

resultsAmong 210 monogenic conditions (44.7% autosomal dominant, 45.2% autosomal recessive, 7.6% X-linked), 131 (62.3%) segregated into two major clusters: one predominantly NDD and the other predominantly DEE. A variable combination of neurological, extra-neurological and imaging features, as well as phenomenologies, distinguished subclusters within the NDD and DEE groups. Across both groups, dystonia was the most frequently reported movement disorder, followed in order by chorea, ataxia, dyskinesia, and myoclonus. Only a small subset of conditions expressed paroxysmal movement disorders and alternating hemiplegia of childhood, highlighting these clinical features as specific diagnostic clues.

conclusionBased on these findings, we propose a clinical and syndromic diagnostic framework for clinicians evaluating patients with NDD, DEE, and hyperkinetic movement disorders. This approach may aid diagnosis in settings lacking access to next-generation sequencing and support reverse phenotyping to improve diagnostic precision and interpretation of genomic data.
