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

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) substantially improves motor symptoms and quality of life in people with movement disorders such as Parkinson disease and dystonia, and it is also being explored as a treatment option for other brain disorders, including treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder, Alzheimer disease and depression. Two major developments are currently driving progress in DBS research: first, the framework of adaptive DBS, which senses brain activity to infer the momentary state of the symptoms of a patient and reacts by adapting stimulation settings, and second, the concept of connectomic DBS, which identifies brain circuits that should optimally be stimulated to reduce specific symptoms. In this Perspective, we propose a unified framework that combines these two concepts. Our approach, termed adaptive circuit targeting, decodes symptom severity from brain signals and adaptively activates the most relevant symptom-response circuits. We discuss the state of the art in the adaptive and connectomic DBS fields and the research gaps that need to be addressed to unify these concepts.
