1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Functional neurosurgery encompasses surgical procedures geared towards treating movement disorders (such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor), drug-resistant epilepsy, and various types of pain disorders. It is one of the most rapidly expanding fields within neurosurgery and utilizes both traditional open surgical methods such as open temporal lobectomy for epilepsy as well as neuromodulation-based treatments such as implanting brain or nerve stimulation devices. This review outlines the role functional neurosurgery plays in treatment of epilepsy, movement disorders, and pain, and how it is being implemented at the University of Missouri by the Department of Neurosurgery.
