Seeking progress in disease modification in Parkinson disease.
Review in Parkinsonism & related disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveDisease modification in Parkinson disease (PD) has remained an elusive goal, in spite of large investments over several decades. Following a large meeting of experts, this review article discusses the state of the science, possible reasons for past PD trials' failures to demonstrate disease-modifying benefit, and potential solutions.
methodsThe National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) convened a meeting including leaders in the field and representatives of key stakeholder groups to discuss drug therapy with the goal of disease modification in PD.
resultsImportant lessons can be learned from previous attempts, as well as from other fields. The selection process for therapeutic targets and agents differs among various organizations committed to therapeutic development. The areas identified as critical to target in future research include the development of relevant biomarkers, refinements of the targeted patient populations, considerations of novel trial designs, and improving collaborations between all stakeholders.
conclusionsWe identify potential barriers to progress in disease modification for Parkinson's and propose a set of research priorities that may improve the likelihood of success.
