Effective Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Following MRgFUS for Tremor Dominant Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: Whilst MRI guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an effective treatment option for tremor disorders, there are reports of tremor recurrence in patients with tremor dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). The mechanisms for tremor recurrence are unknown but likely relate to the duality of tremor network pathways with ramifications for subsequent treatment options. Cases: We report two cases of tremor dominant PD who experienced tremor recurrence following MRgFUS thalamotomy with subsequent successful subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS). Tremor scores were measured at baseline, 1- and 3-months post MRgFUS and at least 18 months post DBS in both patients. Both cases evidenced immediate improvement in tremor, after MRgFUS, followed by subsequent tremor recurrence. STN DBS resulted in almost complete long-term tremor alleviation in both cases. Conclusions: These cases demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of STN DBS in patients with tremor dominant PD with tremor recurrence following MRgFUS thalamotomy. We discuss the dualism of tremor outflow pathways that may have implications for single target lesional therapies.
