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

Multiple System Atrophy-Parkinsonism Predominant (MSA-P) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-Parkinsonism Predominant (PSP-P) are the clinical manifestations of atypical parkinsonism. Currently, there are no efficient in vivo methods available relating to neuroimaging or biochemical analysis in the examination of these entities. Among the advanced methods available, using positron emission tomography is constrained by high cost and low accessibility. In this study the authors examined patients with two types of atypical parkinsonism-MSA-P and PSP-P, which are difficult to differentiate, especially in the early years of their development. The aim of this study was to assess whether the examination of patients in the period following the early years (3-6-year duration of symptoms) could be enhanced by perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or evaluation of cognitive abilities. Extended examination using MRI and perfusion SPECT showed that the evaluation of the mesencephalon/pons ratio, mesencephalic volume decrease, the Magnetic Resonance Parkinsonism Index (MRPI) and frontal perfusion should be considered more feasible than screening cognitive evaluation in MSA-P and PSP-P with a 3-6-year duration of symptoms.
