High Frequency Deep Brain Stimulation of Superior Cerebellar Peduncles in a Patient with Cerebral Palsy.

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
Background: Globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is widely used in patients with isolated dystonia; however, its use remains controversial in patients with acquired dystonia and cerebral palsy. Case presentation: We report the first case of a cerebral palsy patient, who failed to recover 2 years after GPi DBS; DBS was administered on both superior cerebellar peduncles (SCPs) and dentate nuclei (DNs). The monopolar stimulation results suggested that DBS was better administered via the SCPs than via the DNs. At six months follow-up, the patient exhibited a significant improvement of dystonia and spasticity, as well as in her quality of life. Discussion: SCP DBS may be a potential treatment for cerebral palsy patients with dystonia and spasticity who do not respond well to GPi DBS.
