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

Dysphagia is a common non-primary symptom of patients with Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the underlying alterations of brain functional connectivity in Parkinson's disease patients with dysphagia by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. We recruited 13 Parkinson's disease patients with dysphagia and ten patients without dysphagia, diagnosed by videofluoroscopic study of swallowing. Another 13 age and sex-matched healthy subjects were recruited. Eigenvector centrality mapping was computed to identify functional connectivity alterations among these groups. Parkinson's disease patients with dysphagia had significantly increased functional connectivity in the cerebellum, left premotor cortex, the supplementary motor area, the primary motor cortex, right temporal pole of superior temporal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, anterior cingulate cortex and insula, compared with patients without dysphagia. This study suggests that functional connectivity changes in swallowing-related cortexes might contribute to the occurrence of dysphagia in Parkinson's disease patients.
