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

Status dystonicus (SD) is a poorly known neurological emergency requiring urgent interventions, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the globus pallidus interna (GPi). The sensing capabilities of DBS electrodes provide an opportunity to study the pathophysiology of SD. Here, we study local field potentials (LFPs) from GPi-DBS electrodes implanted in a cohort of 10 children longitudinally during SD, recovery and relapse (recording range 11-1155 days). During SD, we report an increase in the periodic component of the power spectrum within the beta-band along with increases in burst amplitude compared to recordings in non-SD states. Furthermore, relapsed SD is characterized by a return of excessive beta signatures. Beta-specific LFP power is also significantly associated with worse quality-of-life scores (PedsQL, R
