Stereotactic radiofrequency lesioning of caudal zona incerta for parkinsonian 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
This video showcases stereotactic radiofrequency lesioning of the caudal zona incerta (CZi) for parkinsonian tremor in a 70-year-old patient. The preoperative evaluation, including imaging and frame placement, is detailed. The surgical procedure involves meticulous targeting and trajectory planning. Intraoperative stimulation is utilized for motor response assessment. Two temporary lesioning phases precede the final procedure at 75°C. The postoperative CT scan highlights the lesion site. Immediate tremor relief is observed postoperatively, with the effect persisting at the 1-month follow-up. Supporting readings underscore the efficacy and safety of CZi for tremor management.
