Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy: What, When, and Why to Cut.
Review in Advances and technical standards in neurosurgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Selective dorsal rhizotomy represents one of the major neurosurgical tools in treating pediatric spasticity. Intraoperative rootlet selection is the key step of the procedure in order to achieve good outcomes. Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) and anatomical selection of the rootlets are the gold standard in the aforementioned selection leading the surgeon during the procedure. The tendency toward minimally invasive procedures further increases IOM importance, warranting the use of electrophysiology in choosing the more suitable rootlets for cutting. Discharge pattern and percentage of resection represent the most important topics in surgical guidance, relying onto the very same pathophysiological mechanism causing spasticity to choose targets.
