MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound in Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor: Incisionless but Invasive. A Narrative Review.
Article in Journal of movement disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is an emerging and promising technology for treating movement disorders, such as essential tremors and tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease. MRgFUS utilizes advanced ultrasound transducer emitters to condense sound waves at a precisely defined point. This technology can target various brain areas, such as the pallidothalamic tract, thalamus, and pallidum, to ameliorate some of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, such as dystonic and action-induced tremors. We review the current status of preclinical and clinical trials on the clinical use, treatment outcomes, and indications of MRgFUS.
