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

objectiveCognitive impairment and neurocirculatory abnormalities such as orthostatic hypotension (OH), supine hypertension (SH), and failure to decrease blood pressure at night (nondipping) occur relatively commonly in Parkinson disease (PD); however, whether cognitive dysfunction in early PD is related to neurocirculatory abnormalities has not been established. Cognitive dysfunction in PD is associated with white matter hyperintensities on MRI. We report results of an analysis of neuropsychological and hemodynamic parameters in patients with early PD.

methodsAmong 87 patients, 25 had normal cognition, 48 had mild cognitive impairment, and 14 had dementia, based on comprehensive neuropsychological tests. Orthostatic vital signs and ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure monitoring were recorded, and brain magnetic resonance scans were obtained for all patients.

resultsCognitive impairment was associated with OH, SH, and white matter hyperintensities but not with nondipping. Dementia and white matter hyperintensities were common in SH. Of 13 patients with OH + SH, every one had mild cognitive impairment or dementia.

conclusionsCognitive dysfunction is related to neurocirculatory abnormalities, especially OH + SH, in early PD, raising the possibility that early detection and effective treatment of those abnormalities might slow the rate of cognitive decline.
