Role of Neurosurgical Interventions in the Treatment of Movement Disorders Like Parkinson's Disease, Dystonia, and Tourette Syndrome.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This article provides an overview of neurosurgical therapies for movement disorders (MDs), including Tourette syndrome, dystonia, Parkinson's disease (PD), and others. It focuses on the benefits of these treatments and suggests directions for further research. A total of 10 years' worth of English-language PubMed articles were combed through, with an emphasis on studies conducted in North America. To manage MDs like Parkinson's disease and Tourette syndrome, the results suggest that non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS), and other advanced therapies may become the treatment of choice in the future. Research on dystonia is being focused on improving treatment methods by investigating new areas of the brain that might be stimulated through neurosurgery and looking at gene therapy. Modern technological developments, such as non-invasive neuromodulation procedures and improved imaging, provide promising substitutes for traditional surgical approaches. This study highlights the need for continuous clinical trials for better outcomes, which is why research and development in this area must continue.
