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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease presenting with motor and non-motor symptoms, including skin disorders (seborrheic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, and rosacea), skin pathological changes (decreased nerve endings and alpha-synuclein deposition), and metabolic changes of sebum. Recently, a transcriptome method using RNA in skin surface lipids (SSL-RNAs) which can be obtained non-invasively with an oil-blotting film was reported as a novel analytic method of sebum. Here we report transcriptome analyses using SSL-RNAs and the potential of these expression profiles with machine learning as diagnostic biomarkers for PD in double cohorts (PD [n = 15, 50], controls [n = 15, 50]). Differential expression analysis between the patients with PD and healthy controls identified more than 100 differentially expressed genes in the two cohorts. In each cohort, several genes related to oxidative phosphorylation were upregulated, and gene ontology analysis using differentially expressed genes revealed functional processes associated with PD. Furthermore, machine learning using the expression information obtained from the SSL-RNAs was able to efficiently discriminate patients with PD from healthy controls, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.806. This non-invasive gene expression profile of SSL-RNAs may contribute to early PD diagnosis based on the neurodegeneration background.
