Mapping tracts in the human subthalamic area by 11.7T ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging.
Article in Brain structure & function, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical feedback loops that consist of distinct white matter pathways are important for understanding in vivo imaging studies of functional and anatomical connectivity, and for localizing subthalamic white matter structures in surgical approaches for movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Connectomic analysis in animals has identified fiber connections between the basal ganglia and thalamus, which pass through the fields of Forel, where other fiber pathways related to motor, sensory, and cognitive functions co-exist. We now report these pathways in the human brain on ex vivo mesoscopic (250 μm) diffusion tensor imaging and on tractography. The locations of the tracts were identified relative to the adjacent gray matter structures, such as the internal and external segments of the globus pallidus; the zona incerta; the subthalamic nucleus; the substantia nigra pars reticulata and compacta; and the thalamus. The connectome atlas of the human subthalamic region may serve as a resource for imaging studies and for neurosurgical planning.
