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

purposeLacunae are imaging biomarkers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and are correlated with the degree of gait instability in Parkinson's disease (PD). The wearing-off phenomenon (WO) occurs more frequently in PD patients as disease progresses. The present study aimed to investigate the overall impact of the quantity and location of lacunae on the WO in PD. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective, single-center study included 315 consecutive eligible patients with PD from Beijing Tiantan Hospital from May 2016 to August 2018. We collected data on demographics and clinical features, assessed lacunae and examined the presence of the WO. The association between lacunae and the WO was assessed using a binary logistic regression model.

resultsThe number of lacunae was significantly associated with the WO in patients with PD according to a model adjusted for age at onset, disease duration, Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y) staging, Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (MDS-UPDRS III) total score and levodopa equivalent daily dosage (LEED) (P=0.037, OR 1.156, 95% CI 1.009, 1.325) and to a model further adjusted for other CSVD imaging biomarkers (P=0.046, OR 1.172, 95% CI 1.003, 1.369). Following additional adjustment for other potential confounders, the association remained significant (P=0.043, OR 1.195, 95% CI 1.005, 1.421). Lacunae in subcortical areas (P=0.004, OR 0.498, 95% CI 0.308, 0.803) and basal ganglia (P=0.046, OR 1.616, 95% CI 1.009, 2.587), especially in the caudate nuclei (P=0.023, OR 1.104, 95% CI 0.185, 0.881), were significantly associated with the WO in PD patients.

conclusionOur finding highlights the significant association between lacune and the WO, and lacunae may be an independent contributor to the WO in PD patients. Promoting neurovascular health may prevent the progression of the WO in PD patients.
