Preoperative Levodopa Response and Deep Brain Stimulation Effects on Motor Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review.
Review in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe up-to-date literature systematically reviewing the predictive value of preoperative levodopa responsiveness after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in motor outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) is lacking.
objectiveTo address this issue in patients with PD undergoing bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) or globus pallidus interna (GPi) DBS.
methodsWe used the existing PRISMA consensus statement. A comprehensive review of literature from 1993 to May 2021 retrieved from PubMed was conducted.
resultsThe STN-DBS responsiveness was significantly correlated with the preoperative levodopa responsiveness for the total score of UPDRS-III at both 6- and 12-month follow-ups (
conclusionThe current study confirmed the value of preoperative levodopa responsiveness for prediction of the short-term motor outcome after DBS (for both STN and GPi). The predictive value of levodopa responsiveness in short-term outcomes for respective cardinal motor disabilities and the loss of its predictive value after STN DBS for long-term motor outcomes were highlighted by this study.
