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

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a prominent target for deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), a common motor complication of Parkinson's disease. However, the precise impact of STN-DBS on LID remains unclear. Here, we investigated the functional roles of two distinct neuronal populations within the STN in regulating LID. In a mouse model of LID, STN neurons projecting to the entopeduncular nucleus (EP) exhibited a U-shaped activation pattern, whereas those projecting to the tegmental reticular nucleus (RtTg) displayed a predominantly inhibitory response. Activation of EP-projecting STN neurons alleviated dyskinesia but worsened hypokinesia in the parkinsonian state. Activation of RtTg-projecting STN neurons alone did not induce hyperkinetic characteristics, except when combined with levodopa. These findings reveal two anatomically and functionally distinct populations of STN neurons involved in LID regulation, offering insights into the circuitry underlying STN-DBS.
