Neuropsychiatric symptoms and striatal monoamine availability in early Parkinson's disease without dementia.
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. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveNeuropsychiatric symptoms are relatively common in Parkinson's disease (PD). Many studies have revealed that striatal monoamine availability is associated with specific neuropsychiatric symptoms. This study was aimed to investigate the association between comprehensive neuropsychiatric symptoms and striatal monoamine availability in patients with early PD without dementia.
methodsA total of 156 newly diagnosed patients with PD without dementia were included. All patients' mental and behavioral problems were assessed with the 12-item Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). They underwent positron emission tomography (PET) with
resultsNinety-eight patients had more than one neuropsychiatric symptom. The SUVR of the thalamus in neuropsychiatric symptoms group was significantly lower than the SUVR in no neuropsychiatric symptoms group independent of age, sex, disease duration, or severity of motor symptoms.
conclusionPatients with early PD who have neuropsychiatric symptoms had a lower monoamine availability in the thalamus than those with no neuropsychiatric symptoms. This finding suggests that decreased monoamine transporter availability in the thalamus may be an imaging biomarker of neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with PD.
