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

Parkinson disease (PD) is a devastating, largely nonfamilial, age-related disorder caused by the progressive loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Release of DA from these neurons into the dorsal striatum is crucial for regulating movement and their loss causes PD. Unfortunately, the mechanisms underlying SNc neurodegeneration remain unclear, and currently there is no cure for PD, only symptomatic treatments. Recently, several regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins have emerged as critical modulators of PD pathogenesis and/or motor dysfunction and dyskinesia: RGSs 4, 6, 9, and 10. Striatal RGS4 has been shown to exacerbate motor symptoms of DA loss by suppressing M
