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

In the last half-century, Parkinson's disease (PD) has played a historical role in demonstrating our ability to translate preclinical scientific advances in pathology and pharmacology into highly effective clinical therapies. Yet, as highly efficacious symptomatic treatments were successfully developed and adopted in clinical practice, PD remained a progressive disease without a cure. In contrast with the success story of symptomatic therapies, the lack of translation of disease-modifying interventions effective in preclinical models into clinical success has continued to accumulate failures in the past two decades. The ability to stop, prevent or mitigate progression in PD remains the "holy grail" in PD science at the present time. The large number of high-quality disease modification clinical trials in the past two decades with its lessons learned, as well as the growing knowledge of PD molecular pathology should enable us to have a deeper understanding of the reasons for past failures and what we need to do to reach better outcomes. Periodic reviews and mini-reviews of the unsolved disease modification conundrum in PD are important, considering how this field is rapidly evolving along with our views and understanding of the possible explanations.
