Distinct Roles of the Human Subthalamic Nucleus and Dorsal Pallidum in Parkinson's Disease Impulsivity.
Article in Biological psychiatry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundImpulsivity and impulse control disorders are common in Parkinson's disease and lead to increased morbidity and reduced quality of life. Impulsivity is thought to arise from aberrant reward processing and inhibitory control, but it is unclear why deep brain stimulation of either the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or globus pallidus internus (GPi) affects levels of impulsivity. Our aim was to assess the role of the STN and GPi in impulsivity using invasive local field potential (LFP) recordings from deep brain stimulation electrodes.
methodsWe measured LFPs during a simple rewarding Go/NoGo paradigm in 39 female and male human patients with Parkinson's disease manifesting variable amounts of impulsivity who were undergoing unilateral deep brain stimulation of either the STN (18 nuclei) or GPi (28 nuclei). We identified reward-specific LFP event-related potentials and correlated them to impulsivity severity.
resultsLFPs in both structures modulated during reward-specific Go and NoGo stimulus evaluation, reward feedback, and loss feedback. Motor and limbic functions were anatomically separable in the GPi but not in the STN. Across participants, LFP reward processing responses in the STN and GPi uniquely depended on the severity of impulsivity.
conclusionsThis study establishes LFP correlates of impulsivity within the STN and GPi regions. We propose a model for basal ganglia reward processing that includes the bottom-up role of the GPi in reward salience and the top-down role of the STN in cognitive control.
