Partners' view after subthalamic deep brain stimulation: Better relationships despite patients being less active.
Article in Clinical parkinsonism & related disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionAfter deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), Parkinson patients report difficulties in the relationship with their partners. The partners' experience after DBS appears to be variable and complex. Purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the partners' perspective on the relationship following STN-DBS. SUBJECTS AND
methodsWe conducted a postoperative questionnaire assessment in 56 partners of Parkinson patients with STN-DBS, using questionnaires addressing partnership satisfaction, dyadic coping, and role allocation in duties and activities of daily living.
resultsRegarding overall relationship satisfaction after surgery, 40% of partners were happier with their relationship than before DBS, and 14% were less satisfied. Partners reported that patients involved themselves distinctly less in duties and activities of daily living, leaving partners to take over. A need for more professional support for the relationship following surgery was noted by 27% of the partners.
conclusionAlthough quality of relationship and dyadic coping improved or remained unchanged according to the majority of partners, patients became less prone to take over common duties and activities despite being in a better and more stable motor state. Potential conflicts and problems in role allocation in relationships following DBS need to be addressed in patients care.
