Movement Disorder Patients with Depression Have Altered Corticostriatal Alpha-Beta Power Response to Reward and Loss.
Article in eNeuro, 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
Depression is a common comorbidity in movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). Altered reward signaling contributes to core depression symptoms such as anhedonia, but the specific neural activity patterns underlying these processes and how they manifest in comorbid movement disorders are incompletely understood. Fourteen PD and 16 ET patients (22 male, 8 female) participated while undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery. Subjects completed a working memory task and received visual feedback about response accuracy while signals were recorded from traversed structures [caudate and/or dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)]. Preoperative Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) scores of ≥14 indicated elevated depression symptoms. Using cluster-based permutation testing, we identified time and frequency ranges in which oscillatory power significantly differed during reward versus loss feedback. We then used two-way ANOVAs and linear mixed effects models to assess how these power changes differed based on movement disorder and depression severity. Caudate and DLPFC alpha-beta (8-30 Hz) power increased during reward feedback. In both regions, this increase was attenuated in depressed subjects (caudate difference = -0.22, 95% CI = -0.32 to -0.13; DLPFC difference = -0.10, 95% CI = -0.16 to -0.045). BDI-II score was a negative predictor of reward- and loss-related corticostriatal alpha-beta power (caudate estimate = -0.014, 95% CI = -0.020 to -0.0078; DLPFC estimate = -0.0075, 95% CI = -0.012 to -0.0029). Specific to PD, depressed patients had greater decreases in DLPFC alpha-beta power following loss feedback than nondepressed patients (difference = -0.10, 95% CI = -0.17 to -0.027). Our findings suggest that altered corticostriatal alpha-beta power may contribute to reward dysfunction in depression in patients with movement disorders.
