Reliability and Validity of the Geriatric Depression Scale in Italian Subjects with Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Parkinson's disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) is commonly used to assess depressive symptoms, but its psychometric properties have never been examined in Italian people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to study the reliability and validity of the Italian version of the GDS in a sample of PD patients.
methodsThe GDS was administered to 74 patients with PD in order to study its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct, and discriminant validity.
resultsThe internal consistency of GDS was excellent (
conclusionThe GDS is a reliable and valid tool in a sample of Italian PD subjects; this scale can be used in clinical and research contexts.
