Deep Brain Stimulator Device Infection: The Mayo Clinic Rochester Experience.

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
Background: Deep brain stimulator (DBS)-related infection is a recognized complication that may significantly alter the course of DBS therapy. We describe the Mayo Clinic Rochester experience with DBS-related infections. Methods: This was a retrospective study of all adults (≥18 years old) who underwent DBS-related procedures between 2000 and 2020 at the Mayo Clinic Rochester. Results: There were 1087 patients who underwent 1896 procedures. Infection occurred in 57/1112 (5%) primary DBS implantations and 16/784 (2%) revision surgeries. The median time to infection (interquartile range) was 2.1 (0.9-6.9) months. The odds of infection were higher with longer operative length ( Conclusions: Primary DBS implantations had higher rates of infection compared with revision surgeries. Complete device explantation was favored for deep infections. However, device salvage was commonly attempted and is a reasonable approach in select cases given the low rate of complications.
