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

Background: Tremor is one of the most common motor symptom across movement disorders, and its precise diagnosis has become increasingly critical. However, existing studies remain fragmented. They often focus on specific disease manifestations or isolated diagnostic techniques, but lack systematic analysis. A comprehensive review is therefore needed to consolidate insights and guide future diagnostic advancements. Methods: We systematically searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and ClinicalTrials.gov (January 2016-August 2025), identifying 1,145 publications and 47 trials. Bibliometric networks were then visualized and analyzed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R package "bibliometrix." Results: Annual publication volume increased steadily, while citations rose from 2016 and peaked in 2021. The United States led in publications, whereas Germany held the highest betweenness centrality. Yale University ranked first in publication output, and University College London had the greatest betweenness centrality. Louis, Elan D was the most influential author, leading in publication count, citation frequency, and betweenness centrality. Conclusion: This study comprehensively maps the research landscape in tremor diagnosis and differential diagnosis over the past decade. On this basis, it identifies current limitations, and predicts emerging research frontiers, thereby offering valuable insights and guidance for future scientific investigation.
