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

objectivesto explore the association between cerebral small-vessel diseases (CSVDs) and motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD).

methods137 PD patients were recruited into the study. Detailed motor symptoms, including tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and axial impairment, were evaluated using Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Non-motor symptoms, including cognition, anxiety, and depression, were evaluated using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD). Brain MRI was used to assess the subtypes of CSVDs, including lacunes, enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS), and white matter hyperintensities (WMH). WMH were furtherly divided into deep WMH (DWMH) and periventricular hyperintensities (PVH). The association between CSVDs and motor symptoms was analyzed. Patients were divided into the postural instability and gait disability (PIGD) group and non-PIGD group. Demographic, clinical and CSVDs variables were compared between the two groups.

resultsCSVDs subtypes were all detected in the participants with different prevalence rates and severity degrees. We found a close association between EPVS in basal ganglia and the tremor score (p = 0.032), and between DWMH in the frontal and occipital lobes and the axial motor score (p < 0.05) through the spearman and multivariate liner regression analysis. Compared with the non-PIGD group, the PIGD group demonstrated more serious cognitive impairment and DWMH in the frontal and occipital lobes (p < 0.05). The demographic characteristics and vascular risk factors of the PIGD group were not different from those of the non-PIGD group. Cognitive impairment and DWMH in the frontal lobe were identified to be independent risk factors of PIGD motor phenotype.

conclusionsWe identified a close association between the CSVDs and motor symptoms in PD and DWMH in the frontal lobe was a risk factor of PIGD motor phenotype, which supports the contribution of vascular pathology in PD.
