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

Following our initial reports on subnormal levels of GM1 in the substantia nigra and occipital cortex of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, we have examined additional tissues from such patients and found these are also deficient in the ganglioside. These include innervated tissues intimately involved in PD pathology such as colon, heart and others, somewhat less intimately involved, such as skin and fibroblasts. Finally, we have analyzed GM1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, a type of tissue apparently with no direct innervation, and found those too to be deficient in GM1. Those patients were all afflicted with the sporadic form of PD (sPD), and we therefore conclude that systemic deficiency of GM1 is a characteristic of this major type of PD. Age is one factor in GM1 decline but is not sufficient; additional GM1 suppressive factors are involved in producing sPD. We discuss these and why GM1 replacement offers promise as a disease-altering therapy.
