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) has been an integral part of movement disorders care for decades. However, differences exist in techniques for surgical implantation of DBS and clinician experience with DBS systems, including use of new software, programming approaches, and postsurgical management of patients. DBS technologies have been rapidly advancing, and indications for DBS are increasing, including for psychiatric symptoms and epilepsy. The heterogeneity in the scope and utility of DBS is perhaps mirrored in education and training, despite efforts to develop competency measures for trainees. These advancements in DBS and the varying opportunities offered at each fellowship contribute to challenges for program directors to establish and implement consistent expectations. Similar challenges have been observed in other fields using neuromodulation. In this review, we seek to discuss the history and evolution of DBS therapy for movement disorders and in parallel, fellow training in DBS, particularly for movement disorders. The goal is to identify specific discrepancies in training that exist to ensure proficiency in the care of people with movement disorders and neuromodulation in general.
