Neuropsychological predictors of patient-reported cognitive decline after deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental neuropsychology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) is effective for treatment of motor complications of dopaminergic therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD) but occasionally has been associated with multidomain cognitive decline. Patient- and caregiver-reported cognitive decline are clinically meaningful and increasingly recognized as important to consider when evaluating therapeutic interventions for PD.
objectiveThe objective was to assess presurgical neuropsychological and clinical factors associated with PD patient- and caregiver-reported cognitive decline in two or more domains after DBS.
methodA single telephone survey was used to assess patient- and caregiver-reported cognitive decline in five domains at both one and four months after DBS surgery. Decline in two or more domains was considered multidomain cognitive decline (MDCD). Baseline demographic, clinical, and neuropsychological factors were compared in those with or without MDCD. Preoperative neuropsychological measures were evaluated as risk factors and regressed on the presence of MDCD, with demographic covariates, using multiple logistic regression.
resultsPreoperative performance in verbal recognition memory, language knowledge, and verbal processing decline were associated with postoperative, patient-reported MDCD in the first four weeks. MDCD at four months after DBS was associated with worse preoperative verbal reasoning, verbal recall, and semantic verbal fluency. Caregiver-reported MDCD one month after DBS was associated with poorer baseline verbal memory recognition accuracy/discriminability, visuospatial problem solving, and constructional praxis.
conclusionPoor presurgical performance in verbal memory recognition, language processing, and visuospatial performance is associated with patient- or caregiver-reported decline following DBS surgery. Posterior cortical dysfunction seems to portend significant self-reported cognitive decline following deep brain stimulation.
