A Concise Guide to D-Wave Monitoring during Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumour Surgery.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
D-waves (also called direct waves) result from the direct activation of fast-conducting, thickly myelinated corticospinal tract (CST) fibres after a single electrical stimulus. During intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, D-waves are used to assess the long-term motor outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for intramedullary spinal cord tumours, selected cases of intradural extramedullary tumours and surgery for syringomyelia. In the present manuscript, we discuss D-wave monitoring and its role as a tool for monitoring the CST during spinal cord surgery. We describe the neurophysiological background and provide some recommendations for recording and stimulation, as well as possible future perspectives. Further, we introduce the concept of anti D-wave and present an illustrative case with successful recordings.
