Review in The pharmacogenomics journal, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which no restorative or neuroprotective therapy is available. Interest has recently been directed to association studies on polymorphisms of various genes, mainly those related to dopamine metabolism and transport, and their effect on response to PD, which includes primarily levodopa and dopaminomimetics. Approximately 15-20% of patients with PD do not respond to levodopa, and the majority of those who do respond develop adverse fluctuations in motor response, primarily levodopa-induced dyskinesias. This review summarizes the influence of polymorphisms in various genes on the relative risk of IPD and on levodopa efficacy. It focuses on the importance of well-designed polymorphism studies that include large samples of patients with IPD and tightly matched controls and use identical methodologies. Valid data on such polymorphisms might increase the efficacy of levodopa, decrease its side effects, and reduce the occurrence of levodopa-induced dyskinesias. They might also provide a novel diagnostic tool for PD.
