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.

Abstract

objectiveTo study the longitudinal disease course of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutation (GBA-positive) compared to PD non-carriers (GBA-negative) along a 5-year follow-up, evaluating changes in clinical and cognitive outcomes, cortical thickness, and gray-matter (GM) volumes.

methodsTen GBA-positive and 20 GBA-negative PD patients underwent clinical, neuropsychological, and MRI assessments (cortical thickness and subcortical, hippocampal, and amygdala volumes) at study entry and once a year for 5 years. At baseline and at the last visit, each group of patients was compared with 22 age-matched healthy controls. Clinical, cognitive, and MRI features were compared between groups at baseline and over time.

resultsAt baseline, GBA-positive and GBA-negative PD patients had similar clinical and cognitive profiles. Compared to GBA-negative and controls, GBA-positive patients showed cortical thinning of left temporal, parietal, and occipital gyri. Over time, compared to GBA-negative, GBA-positive PD patients progressed significantly in motor and cognitive symptoms, and showed a greater pattern of cortical thinning of posterior regions, and frontal and orbito-frontal cortices. After 5 years, compared to controls, GBA-negative PD patients showed a pattern of cortical thinning similar to that showed by GBA-positive cases at baseline. The two groups of patients showed similar patterns of subcortical, hippocampal, and amygdala volume loss over time.

conclusionsCompared to GBA-negative PD, GBA-positive patients experienced a more rapid motor and cognitive decline together with a greater, earlier and faster cortical thinning. Cortical thickness measures may be a useful tool for monitoring and predicting PD progression in accordance with the genetic background.
