Response inhibition in Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis of dopaminergic medication and disease duration effects.
Review in NPJ Parkinson's disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03665493 (Dopamine Effect on Inhibitory Control), which is not on this map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder involving the basal ganglia that results in a host of motor and cognitive deficits. Dopamine-replacement therapy ameliorates some of the hallmark motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but whether these medications improve deficits in response inhibition, a critical executive function for behavioral control, has been questioned. Several studies of Parkinson's disease patients "on" and "off" (12-h withdrawal) dopaminergic medications suggested that dopamine-replacement therapy did not provide significant response inhibition benefits. However, these studies tended to include patients with moderate-to-advanced Parkinson's disease, when the efficacy of dopaminergic drugs is reduced compared to early-stage Parkinson's disease. In contrast, a few recent studies in early-stage Parkinson's disease report that dopaminergic drugs do improve response inhibition deficits. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that Parkinson's disease duration interacts with medication status to produce changes in cognitive function. To investigate this issue, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies comparing patients with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls on tests of response inhibition (50 comparisons from 42 studies). The findings supported the hypothesis; medication benefited response inhibition in patients with shorter disease duration, whereas "off" medication, moderate deficits were present that were relatively unaffected by disease duration. These findings support the role of dopamine in response inhibition and suggest the need to consider disease duration in research of the efficacy of dopamine-replacement therapy on cognitive function in Parkinson's disease.
