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

aimsThis study aimed to identify the functional connectivity (FC) changes of nucleus accumbens (NAc) subregions and characterize the association of network changes and non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD).

methodsWe enrolled 129 PD patients and 106 healthy controls from our center and the PPMI (Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative) database. The FC of the bilateral core and shell of the NAc were measured and compared between the two groups. We further used partial least squares correlation to reveal the relationships between altered FC of NAc subregions and manifestations of NMS of PD.

resultsThe subregions of left core, left shell, and right core had reduced FC with extensive brain regions in PD patients compared with healthy controls. These three subregions were commonly associated with depression, anxiety, apathy, and cognitive impairment. Moreover, the left core and left shell were associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, whereas the right core was associated with olfactory impairment and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder.

conclusionThis study for the first time identified the neural network changes of NAc subregions in PD and the associations between network changes and phenotypes of NMS. Our findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of NMS in PD.
