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

Ropinirole is a modern, non-ergoline dopamine agonist which has been shown to be effective as monotherapy as well as combination therapy against idiopathic Parkinson's disease. In addition to improving bradykinesia, rigor and tremor, it will ameliorate the abilities of daily living as well as depressive mood. The long-term complications of L-dopa are diminished and the existing complications are reduced. A neuroprotective effect is under discussion. In addition to Parkinson's disease, ropinirole is also used successfully in the treatment of restless legs syndrome.
