Investigation of the Possible Correlation between Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease and Diabetes Mellitus in Egyptian Patients: A Pilot Study.
Article in Neurology research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03685357 (Investigation of the Possible Correlation Between Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease and Diabetes Mellitus in Egyptian Elderly Patients), 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
objectivesTo study the diabetes-Parkinson's disease (PD) linkage.
methodsThe investigators recorded the rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) score for 60 diabetic patients: 30 patients were treated with metformin-inclusive sulfonylurea and 30 patients were treated with sulphonylurea(s) monotherapy and matched with 30 controls. We evaluated blood glucose kinetics during a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test for (22) nondiabetic parkinsonian patients and (10) controls. The motor complications scores were recorded for all parkinsonian patients using the relevant parts of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part IV.
resultsDiabetics recorded higher scores of RBDSQ than controls (
conclusionDiabetes mellitus and Parkinson's disease are linked, which raises concerns about either of them, probably increasing the risk of the other. This trial is registered with NCT03685357.
