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

Adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) dynamically adjusts stimulation amplitude based on neurophysiological feedback and may alleviate residual motor fluctuations in patients with Parkinson's disease. However, potential clinical benefits and programming strategies remain poorly understood. We programmed eight patients with Parkinson's disease on commercially available Dual Threshold adaptive DBS based on subthalamic beta power. Symptom severity was evaluated at home using ecological momentary assessments during two weeks of both continuous and adaptive DBS. Patients were not blinded to the stimulation mode. On the group level, overall well-being significantly improved with adaptive DBS (p = 0.007), and there was a non-significant trend toward enhanced general movement (p = 0.058). Within-subject analysis showed a significant improvement in overall well-being and general movement in three of eight patients. Six of eight patients chose to remain on adaptive DBS. Programming challenges included biomarker selection, threshold definition, and artifact-related maladaptation, for which targeted strategies are reported. Our findings support adaptive DBS as a potential option for selected Parkinson's disease patients with persistent motor symptoms on continuous DBS. We propose a three-step programming approach to guide clinical implementation of adaptive DBS.
