Surgical Treatment of Tremor Syndromes: A Guide to the Clinician.
Review in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTremor is a common feature of multiple neurological conditions, and while medications can be effective in mild cases, surgical interventions are often required in moderate-severe syndromes or when medication side-effects are unacceptable. Over decades, the field of functional neurosurgery has evolved from traditional radiofrequency ablation to deep brain stimulation, and more recently, to incisionless high frequency ultrasonic lesional techniques. All these modalities remain valuable tools for the clinicians and can be used to treat a variety of stereotactic targets with several targeting methods. This evolution has broadened access to surgical treatments for individuals with tremor and has provided both clinicians and patients with a wider range of therapeutic options. Consequently, selecting the most appropriate surgical treatment for an individual has arguably become more complex, relying on a combination of evidence base, personal, medical, social, and economic factors.
objectiveIn view of the evolving landscape of functional neurosurgery in tremor, driven by the resurgence of lesional procedures following the success of high-intensity focused ultrasound, there is a need for a focused, updated review to support clinicians and patients selecting the most appropriate surgical treatment in tremor.
resultsThis educational review discusses the evidence behind, and surgical approaches to, essential tremor, Parkinson's disease tremor and dystonic tremor.
conclusionsKey topics addressed in the educational review include outcomes of different surgical treatments across tremor syndromes and stereotactic targets, waning benefit after surgical treatment, and optimization of patient selection with regards to high-intensity focused ultrasound and deep brain stimulation.
