Does Depression Contribute to the Bladder and Bowel Complaint in Parkinson's Disease Patients?
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 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
backgroundThe question of whether depression contributes to the bladder and bowel complaint in Parkinson's disease (PD) has not been addressed.
objectivesWe studied bladder, bowel and sexual symptoms in PD patients with/without depression.
methodsWe had 267 referred PD patients: age 68.3 ± 7.7 years, 150 men, 117 women. We divided them into those with/without depression and performed the pelvic function questionnaires including bladder, bowel and sexual items; for example, OABSS, IPSS, and a pelvic organ questionnaire).
resultsThe patient age, sex ratio, disease duration, Hoehn-Yahr motor grade, and cognitive score were not significantly different between the PD with depression (n = 35, 13.1%) and PD without depression (n = 232, 86.9%) groups. Regarding bladder, bowel and sexual complaints, significant difference was noted in constipation (
conclusionsOur PD patients with depression showed significantly more common constipation and sensation of residual urine compared to the patients with PD alone, suggesting that depression contributes to the bladder and bowel complaint in PD patients.
