Face pareidolia is associated with right striatal dysfunction in drug-naïve patients with Parkinson's disease.
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. It is linked to trial NCT05483036 (Perception in Parkinson's Disease), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimSome patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) present with pareidolia, an illusion of a meaningless stimulus as a familiar object known to the observer. Since the striatum is associated with processing of visual information, we investigated correlations of pareidolia with motor symptoms and striatal dopaminergic function.
methodA noise pareidolia test, assessment of motor symptoms using MDS-UPDRS and
resultsOf the 58 participants, 22 had at least one illusory response. Mean scores for MDS-UPDRS part III (p<0.05), rigidity (p<0.05), and rigidity on the left side of the body (p<0.01) in patients with pareidolia were significantly higher than those in patients without pareidolia. Uptake of
conclusionPareidolia in PD patients is associated with dysfunction in the right striatum.
