Improvement of obsessive-compulsive disorder after pallidothalamic tractotomy for cervical dystonia.
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A 30-year-old woman with tardive dystonia in the cervical region from long-term antipsychotic meds was treated with radiofrequency ablation of the right pallidothalamic tract in the fields of Forel. The patient showed improvement in both cervical dystonia and obsessive-compulsive disorder after the procedure, with 77.4% improvement in cervical dystonia and 86.7% improvement in obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although the treatment site in this case was intended to treat cervical dystonia, the lesion was located in the optimal stimulation network for both obsessive-compulsive disorder and cervical dystonia, suggesting that neuromodulation of this region could potentially treat both simultaneously.
