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

Nocturnal symptoms are frequent in Parkinson disease (PD) and consist of nocturnal sleep disorders such as REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and restless legs syndrome. There is an increasing need for reliable, early, pre-motor diagnosis of PD, since motor symptoms occur when there is already significant neuronal loss. Recent prospective studies have shown that over 80% of idiopathic RBD patients over time converted to PD and related synucleinopathies. RBD patients have autonomic, visual, and olfactory dysfunction as well as neuroimaging abnormalities similar to those seen in PD. Studies have shown that neuroimaging abnormalities and visual and olfactory dysfunction can help predict which RBD patients will likely convert to a neurodegenerative diagnosis within a short follow-up period. These factors make RBD an ideal population for prediction to PD conversion, allowing future testing and eventual use of neuroprotective strategies.
