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

PD, PD with dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies are clinical syndromes characterized by the neuropathological accumulation of alpha-synuclein in the CNS that represent a clinicopathological spectrum known as Lewy body disorders. These clinical entities have marked heterogeneity of motor and nonmotor symptoms with highly variable disease progression. The biological basis for this clinical heterogeneity remains poorly understood. Previous attempts to subtype patients within the spectrum of Lewy body disorders have centered on clinical features, but converging evidence from studies of neuropathology and ante mortem biomarkers, including CSF, neuroimaging, and genetic studies, suggest that Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid and tau copathology strongly influence clinical heterogeneity and prognosis in Lewy body disorders. Here, we review previous clinical biomarker and autopsy studies of Lewy body disorders and propose that Alzheimer's disease copathology is one of several likely pathological contributors to clinical heterogeneity of Lewy body disorders, and that such pathology can be assessed in vivo. Future work integrating harmonized assessments and genetics in PD, PD with dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies patients followed to autopsy will be critical to further refine the classification of Lewy body disorders into biologically distinct endophenotypes. This approach will help facilitate clinical trial design for both symptomatic and disease-modifying therapies to target more homogenous subsets of Lewy body disorders patients with similar prognosis and underlying biology. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
