Risk factors for motor complications in female patients with Parkinson's disease.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the risk factors of motor complications in female patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and the correlation between the occurrence of motor complications and sex hormone levels.
methodsAccording to the occurrence and types of motor complications, 103 female PD patients were divided into two groups: patients with or without the wearing-off phenomenon, patients with or without dyskinesia. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed respectively to screen for the risk factors of the wearing-off phenomenon and dyskinesia in female PD patients.
resultsAmong 103 female PD patients, 44 (42.72%) had motor complications. Patients with the wearing-off phenomenon and patients with dyskinesia had higher prolactin levels than patients without the wearing-off phenomenon and patients without dyskinesia, respectively. However, the difference was no longer significant when the two groups were corrected for multiple comparisons (P < 0.0028). Multivariate analysis found that younger age at onset and higher Hoehn-Yahr (H&Y) stage were identified as independent risk factors for the wearing-off phenomenon and younger age of onset was an independent risk factor for dyskinesia in female PD patients (P < 0.05).
conclusionFemale PD patients have a higher incidence of motor complications. Younger age of onset and higher H&Y stage were the risk factors of the wearing-off phenomenon, and younger onset age was the risk factor of dyskinesia in female PD patients. There may be a certain correlation between the occurrence of motor complications and sex hormone levels in female PD patients, which requires further verification.
