Deterministic or probabilistic tractography? Choosing the appropriate approach in clinical neurosurgery and neuroradiology practice.
Review in Polish journal of radiology, 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
Diffusion tensor-based tractography enables non-invasive reconstruction of white matter pathways in the human brain using two main algorithms: deterministic and probabilistic. Deterministic tractography generates white matter filaments that follow the dominant diffusion direction in individual voxels, providing fast but imprecise reconstruction; however, it is limited in areas with crossed filaments. Probabilistic tractography, on the other hand, models uncertainty and allows for more accurate mapping of complex neural connections, although it is computationally demanding and more difficult to interpret. This article discusses the theoretical foundations, strengths and weaknesses, and clinical applications of both approaches, with particular emphasis on their application in neurosurgery and neuroradiology.
