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

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a successful therapy for the treatment of several neurological disorders with potential implications in management of psychiatric disease. A variety of well-characterized hardware and surgical complications have been reported after the procedure, including postoperative hardware infection, system failure, and intracranial hemorrhage. Fortunately, serious surgical complications are rare, but they can lead to immediate or long-term disability. As the number of patients undergoing DBS continues to increase, newer and less common complications continue to emerge. It is imperative that clinicians become familiar with these complications in order to promptly recognize them and institute adequate early treatment. In this report, we examine the occurrence of unusual complications after DBS with emphasis on surgical, hardware, and stimulation-related complications.
