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

backgroundsAlthough the short-term efficacy of bilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been reported in a limited number of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with SNCA mutations, there are no data for long-term outcome.

methodsThis multicenter retrospective study investigated previously reported PD patients with SNCA mutations, implanted with bilateral subthalamic DBS. We compared demographic and clinical data at baseline and last follow-up. Clinical data of motor and nonmotor symptoms and motor fluctuation were collected up to 10 years from DBS surgery.

resultsAmong four subjects, three had SNCA duplication and one had c.158C.A (p.A53E) mutation. The mean post-implantation follow-up duration was 5.4 ± 3.7 years. All patients with SNCA duplication showed favorable outcome, although one died from breast cancer 1.5 years after DBS. The patient with the missense mutation became wheelchair-bound due to progressed axial, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms after 3.5 years from DBS despite the benefit on motor fluctuation.

conclusionBased on findings in our small cohort, subthalamic DBS could be beneficial for motor fluctuation in PD patients with SNCA mutations, especially those with SNCA duplication, and cognitive and psychiatric symptoms are important for the long-term outcome of subthalamic DBS.
