Is DAT imaging abnormality in normal pressure hydrocephalus always suggestive of degeneration?
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a debated entity with controversial pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and predictors of response after ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS). Parkinsonian signs are frequently reported in the clinical picture, sometimes due to the coexistence of an underlying neurodegenerative parkinsonism and sometimes in the absence thereof. To distinguish these two scenarios is crucial, since they may carry different long-term response to CSF drainage.
