Visualization of subthalamic nucleus on susceptibility weighted imaging and the verification of accuracy by microelectrode recording.

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
Objective: To investigate the advantages of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) for visualizing the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and to verify the accuracy of this method by microelectrode recordings (MERs) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Methods: We included 42 patients with Parkinson's disease who underwent STN-DBS in our center. The bilateral STN ( Results: The visualization scores for the STN and contrast-to-noise ratio of STN relative to the zona incerta and substantia nigra were significantly higher on SWI than on T2w images ( Conclusion: 3-T SWI was a superior method for delineating the STN than conventional T2w. When applying this method, the dorsoventral SWI-STN border coincided reliably with the physiological border determined by MERs. Direct targeting of the STN using SWI can help optimize preoperative target localization, trajectory planning, and postoperative programming.
