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

Relevance of blood-based biomarkers is increasing into the neurodegenerative diseases field, but data on Parkinson's disease (PD) remain still scarce. In this study, we used the SiMoA technique to measure serum content of total tau protein and amyloid-β peptides (Aβ-42, Aβ-40) in 22 PD patients and ten control subjects. Serum levels of each biomarker were correlated with the respective CSF levels in both the groups; in PD patients, also the correlations between serum biomarkers and main clinical parameters were tested (motor, non-motor, cognitive scores and levodopa equivalent daily dose). Serum biomarkers did not exhibit quantitative differences between patients and controls; however, only PD patients had inter-fluids (serum-CSF) associations in tau and amyloid-β-42 levels. Moreover, serum content of tau protein was inversely correlated with cognitive performances (MoCA score). These findings, albeit preliminary, indicate that brain-derived peptides may change in parallel in both peripheral blood and CSF of PD patients, eventually even in association with some clinical features. Further studies are now needed to validate the use of blood-based biomarkers in PD.
