1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose of the Review: The aim of this narrative review was to explore the interplay between functional movement disorders (FMDs) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Recent Findings: Patients with unrecognized FMD who are referred for DBS usually present with functional dystonia. By contrast, patients who present with FMD after DBS are mostly presenting with functional tremor, in keeping with non-DBS FMD cohorts. Comorbid presentation of FMD in established DBS indications makes the decision to opt for surgery challenging. Many contributing factors can play a role in the development of FMD, including the trauma caused by awake neurosurgery and/or extensive DBS programming. Summary: FMDs in the context of DBS are often overlooked and should be diagnosed promptly because they determine surgical outcome. The approach to DBS candidates with comorbid FMD and the risk factors of FMD after DBS should be further explored.
