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

summaryDeep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus is an FDA-approved therapy for drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Recent advances in device technology, thalamic stereotactic-EEG, and chronic sensing have deepened our understanding of corticothalamic networks in epilepsy and identified promising biomarkers to guide and personalize DBS. In this review, we examine electrophysiological, imaging, and clinical biomarkers relevant to epilepsy DBS, with a focus on their potential to support seizure detection, target engagement, network excitability tracking, and seizure risk forecasting. We highlight emerging insights from thalamic sEEG, including both passive recordings and active stimulation protocols, which enable mapping and modulation of large-scale brain networks. The capabilities of clinical sensing-enabled DBS systems are reviewed. As device functionality and biomarker discovery evolve, concerted translational efforts are needed to realize a new paradigm of personalized DBS in epilepsy.
