Review in Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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

From the first descriptions of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Gaucher's disease (GD) in the nineteenth century, it took more than 100 years to discover the link between the GBA gene and Parkinsonism. The observation that mutations in the GBA gene represent the most common genetic risk factor for PD so far only came into focus because of astute clinical observation of Gaucher patients and their families. In this review, we (i) outline how GBA was identified as a genetic risk factor for Parkinsonism, (ii) present clinical characteristics of GBA-associated Parkinsonism, (iii) discuss possible mechanisms of the underlying pathogenesis in GBA-associated Parkinsonism, and (iv) provide an outlook on potentially new areas of research and treatment that arise from this important discovery.
