Review in Journal of neurology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterised pathologically by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. These neurons project to the striatum, and their loss leads to alterations in the activity of the neural circuits that regulate movement. The striatal output of the circuit related to the control of movement is mediated by two pathways: the direct striatal pathway, which is mediated through facilitation of D1 receptors, and the indirect striatal pathway, mediated through D2 receptors. Positron emission tomography (PET) molecular imaging is a powerful in vivo technique in which using selective dopaminergic radioligands has been employed to investigate the dopaminergic system in humans. In this article we aim to review the role of PET imaging in understanding the postsynaptic dopaminergic mechanisms in PD. PET studies have allowed us to gain important insights into the functions of the dopaminergic system, the mechanisms of drug-induced motor and non-motor complications, and the placebo effect in PD.
