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

introductionWrist rigidity, conventionally qualitatively assessed by clinicians, is an important feature for the success of the deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) surgery in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). To tackle this subjectivity, our group designed and implemented a wearable device with an embedded sensor, the METHODOLOGY: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefit of using the
