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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveRapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) has a strong association with alpha synucleinpathies such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and PD patients with RBD tend to have a poorer prognosis. However, we still know little about the pathogenesis of RBD in PD. Therefore, we aim to detect the alterations of structural correlation network (SCN) in PD patients with and without RBD. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 191 PD patients, including 51 patients with possible RBD (pRBD) and 140 patients with non-possible RBD, and 76 normal controls were included in the present study. Structural brain networks were constructed by thresholding gray matter volume correlation matrices of 116 regions and analyzed using graph theoretical approaches.

resultsThere was no difference in global properties among the three groups. Significant enhanced regional nodal measures in limbic system, frontal-temporal regions, and occipital regions and decreased nodal measures in cerebellum were found in PD patients with pRBD (PD-pRBD) compared with PD patients without pRBD. Besides, nodes in frontal lobe, temporal lobe, and limbic system were served as hubs in both two PD groups, and PD-pRBD exhibited additionally recruited hubs in limbic regions.

conclusionBased on the SCN analysis, we found PD-pRBD exhibited a reorganization of nodal properties as well as the remapping of the hub distribution in whole brain especially in limbic system, which may shed light to the pathophysiology of PD with RBD.
