A quantitative systems pharmacology model for simulating OFF-Time in augmentation trials for Parkinson's disease: application to preladenant.
Article in Journal of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The clinical impact of therapeutic interventions in Parkinson's disease is often measured as a reduction in OFF-time when the beneficial effects of the standard-of-care L-DOPA formulations wanes off. We investigated the pharmacodynamic interactions of augmentation therapy to standard-of-care using a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) model of the basal ganglia motor circuit, essentially a computer model of neuronal firing in the different subregions with anatomically informed connectivity, cell-specific expression of 17 different G-protein coupled receptors and corresponding coupling to voltage-gated ion channel effector proteins based on experimentally observed intracellular signaling. The calculated beta/gamma (b/g) power spectrum of the local field potentials in the subthalamic nucleus was previously calibrated on the clinically relevant Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). When combining this QSP model with PK modeling of different formulations of L-DOPA, we calculated the b/g fluctuations over a 16 h awake period and used a weighted distance from a specific threshold to determine the cumulative liability of OFF-Time. Prediction of OFF-time with clinical observations of different L-DOPA formulations showed a significant correlation. Simulations show that augmentation with the adenosine A
