Mapping a network for tics in Tourette syndrome using causal lesions and structural alterations.
Article in Brain communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Tics are sudden stereotyped movements or vocalizations. Cases of lesion-induced tics are invaluable, allowing for causal links between symptoms and brain structures. While a lesion network for tics has recently been identified, the degree to which this network translates to Tourette syndrome has not been fully elucidated. This is important given that patients with Tourette syndrome make up a large portion of tic cases; therefore, existing and future treatments should apply to these patients. The aim of this study was to first localize a causal network for tics from lesion-induced cases and then refine and validate this network in patients with Tourette syndrome. We independently performed 'lesion network mapping' using a large normative functional connectome (
