Therapies for Restless Legs in Parkinson's Disease.
Review in Current treatment options in neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purpose of reviewThe aim of this article was to review the options and particularities of the treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). RECENT
findingsRLS is more frequent in PD than in the general population. Even if these two disorders share some specificity (dopa-sensitivity), they also differ in many features (iron load, genetic profile, dopaminergic cell count), resulting in different adaptations of the treatment. Only one study has specifically explored and demonstrated the efficacy of a treatment (rotigotine) in RLS with PD, constraining us to treat RLS with PD by analogy as idiopathic RLS in the other cases. However, arrangements linked to the peculiar population and pathology of PD are required. The treatment of RLS in PD consists in adaptation of dopaminergic treatment and introduction of alpha-2-delta ligands and, in refractory cases, of opioids or deep brain stimulation. Iron deficiency should probably not be compensated.
