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

objectiveImpairment of basal ganglia (BG)-thalamo-cortical circuit causes various symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). We investigated the functional connectivity (FC) patterns of putamen among PD subtypes and healthy control (HC) and explored their clinical significance.

methodsA total of 16 patients with tremor-dominant (TD) PD, 23 patients with postural instability and gait difficulty-dominant (PIGD) PD, and 31 HC that underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging were observed. Voxel-wise FC analysis was performed by computing correlation between bilateral putamen and other voxels within the brain. Correlation analysis was performed between FC strength and clinical symptoms.

resultsCompared with PIGD group, TD group showed increased FC between left putamen and right cerebellum lobule VI and cerebellum crus I, then we compared the cerebellum FC difference among the three groups. The cerebellum lobule VI FC difference was mainly involved in motor related cortex, and the cerebellum crus I FC difference was related to cognition areas. While compared with HC, TD and PIGD groups both had significant FC difference brain areas correlated with motor and cognition symptoms. The connectively of putamen and right cerebellum lobules VI and I showed positive correlation with tremor and Montreal Cognitive Assessment degree of scores, respectively. The connectivity of putamen and sensorimotor cortex had negative correlation with PIGD scores.

conclusionsThe altered connectivity of BG-cortical circuit in patients with PD was related to PIGD symptoms. Motor and cognitive impairments declined slower in patients with TD PD, which may be related to increased functional connectivity between putamen and cerebellum.
