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

backgroundLRRK2 mutations are a common cause of dominantly inherited PD. Previous studies showed decreases in urine levels of didocohexaenoyl (22:6) bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate in LRRK2-knockout mice and in non-human primates treated with LRRK2 kinase inhibitors. We hypothesized that urine levels of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms will be higher in individuals with a PD-causing gain-of-kinase function mutation, LRRK2 G2019S. The objective of this study was to investigate alterations in urinary phospholipids as biomarkers of LRRK2 mutations and Parkinson's disease status/phenotypes.

methodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to assess 54 bioactive phospholipids in urine from the LRRK2 Cohort Consortium (n = 80). To confirm and extend the findings, urine from an independent LRRK2 cohort from Columbia University Irving Medical Center (n = 116) was used. Both cohorts were composed of LRRK2 G2019S carriers and non-carriers with and without PD.

resultsIn each cohort, 4 bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms (di-18:1-bis[monoacylglycerol]phosphate, didocohexaenoyl [22:6] bis[monoacylglycerol] phosphate, 2,2'-di-22:6-bis[monoacylglycerol]phosphate, and 2,2'-di-18:1-bis[monoacylglycerol]phosphate) were significantly higher (2.5- to 4.3-fold) in G2019S carriers compared with non-carriers. Interestingly, 2,2'-di-18:1-bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate levels were marginally higher in LRRK2 carriers with PD than in those without PD (P = 0.045). Moreover, increased 2,2' and total di-22:6-bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate were associated with worse cognitive status assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (P = 0.0033 and 0.0144, respectively).

conclusionsThe observed association of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms with LRRK2 G2019S mutation, PD status among G2019S carriers, and correlation with cognitive decline suggest the potential use of urinary bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate isoforms as biomarkers for clinical trials of LRRK2-targeted therapies. © 2019 The Authors.
