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

Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has expanded the therapeutic landscape for movement disorders, with growing interest in circuit-based targets such as pallidothalamic tractotomy (PTT) for Parkinson's disease. Structural MRI provides indirect orientation through surrounding landmarks, including the subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus, and internal capsule, while advanced sequences such as FGATIR and susceptibility-based imaging improve delineation of deep gray matter structures but remain limited for direct fiber visualization. Diffusion-based imaging offers complementary information by enabling
