Subjective cognitive complaints are important in PD-MCI criteria: Associations with CSF markers and cognitive decline.

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
introductionAccording to the Movement Disorder Society (MDS), subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) are a diagnostic criterion for PD-mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI); however, studies often do not incorporate SCC when classifying PD-MCI. This inconsistent use may reflect mixed findings regarding the association between SCC and objective measures of cognitive impairment. Our study aimed to describe the extent that inclusion/exclusion of SCC affects the occurrence of PD-MCI, and if the inclusion of SCC is associated with faster cognitive decline and cerebrospinal fluid markers (CSF) of alpha-synuclein, amyloid beta, total tau, and phophorylated-tau.
methodsIndividuals with PD (N = 358) from the PPMI cohort whom completed measures of neuropsychological performance, subjective cognitive complaints, motor severity, and CSF markers were included. Participants were classified as cognitively normal (CN), PD-MCI with subjective cognitive complaints (PD-MCI + SCC) and PD-MCI without subjective cognitive complaints (PD-MCI -SCC).
resultsPD-MCI rates were consistently higher (16.5-19.1%) across the 5 years when SCC was not included in the diagnostic criteria as opposed to when SCC was included (4.4-11.0%). PD-MCI + SCC experienced greater cognitive decline and had significantly higher levels of tau/ab and p-tau/ab relative to both the CN and PD-MCI - SCC groups.
conclusionsInconsistent implementation of an SCC requirement in PD-MCI classifications may have important implications in terms of the occurrence of PD-MCI and its prognostic value. Classifying PD-MCI only using neuropsychological cut-off criterion, without regard to SCC, may lead to higher rates of PD-MCI. Inclusions of SCC in PD-MCI criteria in newly diagnosed PD participants may strengthen the ability to detect individuals at risk for future cognitive decline, though it is possible that this decline is related to Alzheimer's disease changes rather than worse PD pathology.
