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.

2 · The registry

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

Studies have shown the spatial specificity of cranial iron deposition in different regions in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the time-specific patterns of iron deposition are not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the time pattern of iron variations and its clinical relevance in multiple gray matter nuclei in PD using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). Thirty controls and 33 PD patients were enrolled, namely, 11 cases of early stage of PD (ESP) and 22 cases of advanced stage of PD (ASP) according to the Hoehn-Yahr stages. The iron content in the subcortical nuclei covering substantia nigra (SN), red nucleus (RN), head of the caudate nucleus (CN), globus pallidus (GP), and putamen (PT) was measured using QSM, and the clinical symptoms of PD were evaluated by various rating scales. The QSM values in SN, RN, GP, and PT significantly increased in PD patients compared with the controls. Further subgroup comparison with the controls indicated that the iron content in SN and GP (paleostriatum) gradually elevated in the whole disease duration and was related to clinical features. While the iron content in RN and PT (neostriatum) only elevated significantly in ESP patients, further iron deposition was not obvious in ASP patients. Our study confirmed that QSM could be used as a disease biomarker and could be suitable for longitudinal monitoring. However, considering the temporal characteristics of iron deposition in neostriatum, iron deposition in the neostriatum should be paid more attention in the early stage of the disease, even in the preclinical stage, in future research.
