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

backgroundFunctional dependency, the need for help in basic activities of daily living, is an important patient-oriented outcome. We aimed to describe the development of dependency in Parkinson's disease (PD) and identify independent prognostic factors for this outcome.

methodsWe analyzed data from the Parkinsonism Incidence in North-East Scotland (PINE) study, a prospective, community-based incident cohort of PD with ongoing follow-up. We described the development of dependency defined by a Schwab & England score of < 80% and a Barthel Index of <19. We identified the baseline predictors of dependency using multivariable Cox regression.

resultsIn 198 patients with PD, the rate of development of dependency was 14 per 100 person years. Older age at diagnosis (hazard ratio for 10-year increase 2.23 [95% confidence interval 1.66-2.98]), greater smoking history (hazard ratio for 10-pack-year increase, 1.15 [1.04-1.26]), more severe axial impairment (hazard ratio for 5-point increase in sum of axial items from UPDRS scale, 1.78 [1.30-2.44]), and lower MMSE score (hazard ratio 0.88 [0.79-0.98]) were independently associated with a higher risk of dependency as defined by Schwab & England. Only older age (hazard ratio for 10-year increase 1.35 [1.04-1.76]) and severity of axial impairment (hazard ratio for 5-point increase 1.85 [1.31-2.62]) were associated with a higher risk of dependency as defined by the Barthel Index. Sex, deprivation, comorbidity, overall UPDRS motor score, and disease stage were not independently associated with dependency.

conclusionThis is the first community-based study of dependency in PD. There was a high rate of dependency development. Older age, more smoking, more axial impairment, and poorer cognition were independent predictors. © 2016 The Authors.
