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

This study investigated potential imaging biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). A total of 59 PD patients and 50 healthy control subjects underwent high-resolution 3-dimensional T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging. Bilateral STN volumes were compared between the 2 groups, and a correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between bilateral STN volumes or intracranial volume (ICV) and pre- or postoperative clinical scale scores. The results showed that the left STN volume differed significantly between PD patients and controls. In patients, the left STN volume was negatively correlated with pre- and postoperative quality of life scores and positively correlated with Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores; ICV was also positively correlated with the MMSE score. These findings indicate that changes in the left STN volume are a useful biomarker for evaluating the clinical outcome of PD patients following DBS.
