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

Monoamine neurotransmitters play essential roles in the regulation of arousal and sleep. Impaired metabolism of monoamine neurotransmitters could result in the accumulation of neurotoxic aldehyde metabolites and, hence, neuronal degeneration. Aldehyde dehydrogenases play an important role in the metabolism of the neurotoxic aldehyde metabolites, including the aldehyde metabolites of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline. Deficient aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) has been suggested to result in the accumulation of these biogenic aldehydes. An ALDH2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs671 (A), results in significantly reduced ALDH2 enzyme activity. A total of 83 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients were recruited in this study. In addition to the genotypes of rs671, the patients were assessed with the PD sleep scale-2nd version (PDSS-2) and the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) for symptoms of daytime and nocturnal sleep disturbances. The patients carrying rs671 (A) had more frequent dozing while lying down to rest in the afternoon (ESS item5) (F = 7.308, p = 0.008) than the rs671 (GG) patients. The patients with rs671 (A) reported a trend toward more frequent difficulty staying asleep than the patients with rs671 (GG). (F = 3.278, p = 0.074). The results indicate that patients carrying allele rs671 (A) are more likely to experience impairment in the regulation of arousal and sleep. The results also support the hypothesis that the accumulation of neurotoxic monoamine neurotransmitter aldehyde metabolites secondary to reduced ALDH2 enzyme activity may cause more severe monoaminergic neuronal loss and, hence, more severe symptoms in the regulation of wakefulness and sleep.
