[Adverse effects and complications of continuous intestinal infusion of levodopa-carbidopa in a cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease in a tertiary hospital].

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
introductionContinuous intestinal infusion of levodopa/carbidopa is a second-line treatment indicated in advanced stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). For its implantation, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy must be performed.
objectivesThe main objective has been to describe the frequency and characteristics of the side effects associated with this treatment. As a secondary objective, we have analyzed the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the PD patients who have received this treatment in our hospital. PATIENTS AND
methodsDescriptive, single-center, retrospective study for a consecutive sample of PD patients treated with Continuous intestinal infusion of Levodopa/Carbidopa from the beginning of 2006 to the end of August 2021.
results81 treatment planifications have been analyzed. Treatment success (duration greater than 12 months) was achieved in 78.1% (n = 50) of the patients in whom this follow-up period was available. The median duration of treatment was 35 months. 58.6% of the patients presented some type of complication. A total of 43 minor complications and 16 serious adverse events were reported.
