Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for tremor.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy has emerged as an effective treatment for tremor, particularly in those patients who are excluded from deep brain stimulation. The authors illustrate an example of MRgFUS thalamotomy, targeting the ventralis intermedius nucleus, in a 78-year-old patient with tremor who had features of essential tremor and tremor-predominant Parkinson's disease. Significant tremor improvement was seen during the procedure. The authors review step-by-step the preoperative considerations, Vim targeting, treatment, and outcomes for this evolving treatment modality.
