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

Surgical treatments have transformed the management of Parkinson's disease (PD). Therapeutic options available for the management of PD motor complications include deep brain stimulation (DBS), ablative or lesioning procedures (pallidotomy, thalamotomy, subthalamotomy), and dopaminergic medication infusion devices. The decision to pursue these advanced treatment options is typically done by a multidisciplinary team by considering factors such as the patient's clinical characteristics, efficacy, ease of use, and risks of therapy with a goal to improve PD symptoms and quality of life. DBS has become the most widely used surgical therapy, although there is a re-emergence of interest in ablative procedures with the introduction of MR-guided focused ultrasound. In this article, we review DBS and lesioning procedures for PD, including indications, selection process, and management strategies.
