Beta Burst-Driven Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation Improves Gait Impairment and Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. 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
Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that is often refractory to medication. Pathological prolonged beta bursts within the subthalamic nucleus (STN) are associated with both worse impairment and freezing behavior in PD, which are improved with deep brain stimulation (DBS). The goal of the current study was to investigate the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of beta burst-driven adaptive DBS (aDBS) for FOG in PD. Methods: Seven individuals with PD were implanted with the investigational Summit Results: Beta burst driven aDBS was successfully implemented and deemed safe and tolerable in all seven participants. Gait metrics such as overall percent time freezing and mean peak shank angular velocity improved from OFF to aDBS and showed similar efficacy as cDBS. Similar improvements were also seen for overall clinical motor impairment, including tremor, as well as quantitative metrics of bradykinesia. Conclusion: Beta burst driven adaptive DBS was feasible, safe, and tolerable in individuals with PD with gait impairment and FOG.
