Observational study in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02360683 (Predictive Factors for Therapeutic Response of Subthalamic Stimulation on Quality of Live in Parkinson's Disease), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundSpeech impairment is a recognized but unpredictable adverse effect of sub-thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD).
objectivesTo evaluate the prevalence of speech impairment 1 year after STN-DBS in PD patients and to determine the predictive factors for speech outcome following STN-DBS.
methodsData for 417 patients from the French national PREDISTIM study were collected preoperatively. The combined effect of medical treatment and surgery on speech was compared using specific items from dedicated clinical scales (MDS-UPDRS III.1: primary endpoint) and patient self-assessment questionnaires (items 34 and 35 of the PDQ39: secondary endpoints). For each variable, three patient groups were generated according to speech outcome at 1 year: worsening, stability, and improvement. In the second step analysis, the three groups were compared for demographic and clinical variables at baseline and STN-DBS parameters.
resultsThere was a significant deterioration in speech of all considered items 1 year after combined STN-DBS and dopaminergic treatment. Four predictive factors for speech deterioration were detected: (i) the absence of preoperative speech impairment (p < 0.001); (ii) severity of motor activity of daily living (MDS-UPDRS II off total score) (p = 0.037); (iii) high-intensity stimulation of the left electrode (i.e., above 3.6 V) (p = 0.046); and (iv) the absence of any change in non-motor experiences of daily life (MDS-UPDRS I total score) (p = 0.048).
conclusionsSpeech outcome should be carefully monitored after STN-DBS, especially in PD patients without preoperative speech impairment, with motor difficulties in daily-living activities, and with increased left electrode intensity.
