1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a mainstay treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The adaptive DBS approach (aDBS) modulates stimulation, based on the power in the beta range ([12-30] Hz) of STN local field potentials, aiming to follow the patient's clinical state. Control of aDBS relies on identifying the correct thresholds of pathological beta power. Currently, in-person reprogramming sessions, due to changes in beta power distribution over time, are needed to ensure clinical efficacy. Here we present LAURA, a Transformer-based framework predicting the nonlinear evolution of subthalamic beta power up to 6 days in advance, based on the analysis of chronic recordings. High prediction accuracy (>90%) was achieved in four PD patients with chronic DBS over months of recordings, independently of stimulation parameters. Our study paves the way for remote monitoring strategies and the implementation of new algorithms for personalized auto-tuning aDBS devices.
