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

Research with animal models has led to critical health advances that have saved or improved the lives of millions of human beings. Specifically, nonhuman primate's genetic and anatomo-physiological similarities to humans are especially important for understanding processes like Parkinson's disease, which only occur in humans. Unambiguously, the unique contribution made by nonhuman primate research to our understanding of Parkinson's disease is widely recognized. For example, monkeys with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) parkinsonisms are responsive to dopamine replacement therapies, mimicking what is seen in PD patients. Moreover, groundbreaking neuroanatomical and electrophysiological studies using this monkey model in the 1980s and 1990s enabled researchers to identify the neuronal circuits responsible for the cardinal motor features of PD. This led to the development of subthalamic surgical ablation and deep brain stimulation, the current therapeutic gold standard for neurosurgical treatment. More recently, the mechanisms of α-synuclein spreading testing the prion hypothesis for PD have yielded exciting results. In this review, we discuss and highlight how the findings from nonhuman primate research contribute to our understanding of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
