Deep brain and motor cortex stimulation.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) and motor cortex stimulation (MCS) are established surgical modalities that have been successfully used over the last several decades for treatment of numerous chronic pain disorders. Most often, these approaches are reserved for severe, disabling, and medically refractory syndromes after less invasive approaches have been tried and have failed. Although the exact mechanism of action for DBS and MCS remains unknown, it appears that these central neuromodulation processes have multifactorial effects on central pain processing and descending pain inhibition. Clinical studies and laboratory reports have shed some light on stimulation details and optimal parameters, as well as the choice of stimulation targets, best surgical indications, and expected long-term outcomes. Based on the worldwide published experience, it appears that additional data is needed to obtain regulatory approval for both MCS and DBS for the treatment of pain. Following approval, further clinical research will shape the ability to initiate, implement, and update comprehensive patient and procedure selection paradigms.
