Pridinol treatment in cervical dystonia: improvement of non-motor symptoms.
Article in Annals of medicine, 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
methodsThis non-interventional pilot study enrolled 20 CD-patients. Pridinol mesylate was prescribed additionally to the standard botulinum toxin (BoNT)-treatment at the initial visit (V1). Follow-up visits were performed after 4 (V2) and after 12 weeks (V3). Motor and non-motor symptoms were assessed using the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS), the Dystonia Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire (DNMSQuest), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and the EQ-5D-5L Quality of Life assessment.
resultsThe TWSTRS part I motor score and BDI-II significantly improved from V1 to V3. The TWSTRS part III (pain) showed some effect between V1 and V2 and remained unchanged until V3. There was a significant negative correlation between the visual analog scale of the EQ-5D-5L and TWSTRS and a trend towards a positive correlation between TWSTRS part III and BDI-II. DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest, that pridinol mesylate has some additional clinical effect on motor symptoms and pain when added to BoNT-treatment.
