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
backgroundDeep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a proven and effective therapy for the management of the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). While accurate positioning of the stimulating electrode is critical for success of this therapy, precise identification of the STN based on imaging can be challenging. We developed a method to accurately visualize the STN on a standard clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The method incorporates a database of 7-Tesla (T) MRIs of PD patients together with machine-learning methods (hereafter 7 T-ML).
objectiveTo validate the clinical application accuracy of the 7 T-ML method by comparing it with identification of the STN based on intraoperative microelectrode recordings.
methodsSixteen PD patients who underwent microelectrode-recordings guided STN DBS were included in this study (30 implanted leads and electrode trajectories). The length of the STN along the electrode trajectory and the position of its contacts to dorsal, inside, or ventral to the STN were compared using microelectrode-recordings and the 7 T-ML method computed based on the patient's clinical 3T MRI.
resultsAll 30 electrode trajectories that intersected the STN based on microelectrode-recordings, also intersected it when visualized with the 7 T-ML method. STN trajectory average length was 6.2 ± 0.7 mm based on microelectrode recordings and 5.8 ± 0.9 mm for the 7 T-ML method. We observed a 93% agreement regarding contact location between the microelectrode-recordings and the 7 T-ML method.
conclusionThe 7 T-ML method is highly consistent with microelectrode-recordings data. This method provides a reliable and accurate patient-specific prediction for targeting the STN.
