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

In recent years, neurosurgical patients have highly contributed to research in behavioural neurology. This development is in part due to the use of direct electrical stimulation during brain surgery. Indeed, during surgery for a tumour, involving both grey and white matter, it has become a common clinical practice to awaken patients with the aim of investigating the functional role of restricted brain areas. The surgeon can optimize the extent of resection and improve overall survival without causing permanent neurological deficits, owing to individual, specific mapping and preservation of eloquent structures. This type of mapping offers a unique opportunity to investigate the functional connectivity of the brain, permitting real-time anatomo-functional correlations, in awaken patients undergoing surgery. By gathering all cortical and axonal sites in which stimulation produces the same types of error, one can build up a picture of the network underlying the disrupted function. In this review, the main achievements concerning networks involved in some aspects of language, visuo-spatial cognition, calculation and emotion will be highlighted.
