Predicting cognition after subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease.
Article in NPJ Parkinson's disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03982953 (Predictors of Cognitive Change After Deep Brain Stimulation in the Subthalmic Nucleus in Parkinson's Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
Cognitive deficits have a high impact on quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study takes into account the multifaceted etiology of cognition to estimate the cognitive outcome after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in PD. Clinical, neuropsychological, perioperative, neuroimaging- and laboratory-based risk factors for cognitive dysfunction were prospectively assessed prior to surgery in 57 patients (21 female; age 60.2 ± 8.2; disease duration 10.5 ± 5.9 years, preregistered 9 June 2019 at clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03982953). Elastic net regularized regression and leave-one-out cross-validation were used to fit a multivariable model with the Montréal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) change one year after surgery as primary outcome. The backward span had the most robust association with the cognitive outcome (rho = 0.499, p < 0.001**; c = 0.302). We propose a post-hoc prediction model for cognition based on the baseline MoCA and backward span (R² = 0.50). After clinical validation, our short and easily applicable prediction model could improve informed therapeutic decision making.
