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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by its motor impairment. However, non-motor symptoms such as psychiatric disorders, autonomic disturbances and sleep disorders frequently complicate the course of the disease. In particular, psychiatric disturbances including cognitive impairment, depression and psychosis impact these patients considerably. Approximately 31 % of PD patients suffer from cognitive impairment and dementia. Currently, two different clinical presentations are distinguished in PD patients, who present with dementia: Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), which are two different presentations of a single underlying disease process leading to the deposition of alpha-synuclein. Clinically, PDD is distinguished from DLB alone by the different temporal manifestations of extrapyramidal motor symptoms. Dementia is characterized by a subtle onset and progressive cognitive decline with a predominant dysexecutive syndrome, which can be accompanied by different behavioral symptoms such as hallucinations, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Dysregulation of different neurotransmitters has been associated with cognitive decline, but reduced cholinergic transmission is currently thought to be the pivotal mechanism in the development of cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, cholinesterase inhibitors are used in the treatment of dementia and accompanying behavioral symptoms in PDD and DLB. The occurrence of dementia impacts not only the patients themselves but also their care-givers and family.This article focuses on the clinical issues related to both disorders and is based on a meeting of experts which took place in April 2008 in Dresden.
