Gerstmann Syndrome: What is the Possible Role of Deep Brain Stimulation?
Review in Neurocritical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Gerstmann syndrome, characterized by a tetrad of symptoms, which are agraphia, acalculia, left-right disorientation, and finger agnosia, presents challenges in both understanding its pathophysiology and establishing effective treatment modalities. Neuroanatomical studies have highlighted the involvement of the dominant parietal lobe, particularly the inferior parietal lobule, in the development of Gerstmann syndrome. Although current treatment options are largely supportive, recent research suggests a potential role for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in managing this condition. DBS, known for its efficacy in various neurological disorders, has been hypothesized to modulate neuronal pathways associated with Gerstmann syndrome. However, clinical evidence supporting DBS in Gerstmann syndrome remains scarce, posing challenges in patient selection and ethical considerations. Future research should prioritize investigating the efficacy and safety of DBS in Gerstmann syndrome to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
