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

backgroundFew efficient and simple models for the early prediction of Parkinson's disease (PD) exists.

objectiveTo develop and validate a novel nomogram for early identification of PD by incorporating microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles and clinical indicators.

methodsExpression levels of blood-based miRNAs and clinical variables from 1,284 individuals were downloaded from the Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative database on June 1, 2022. Initially, the generalized estimating equation was used to screen candidate biomarkers of PD progression in the discovery phase. Then, the elastic net model was utilized for variable selection and a logistics regression model was constructed to establish a nomogram. Additionally, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and calibration curves were utilized to evaluate the performance of the nomogram.

resultsAn accurate and externally validated nomogram was constructed for predicting prodromal and early PD. The nomogram is easy to utilize in a clinical setting since it consists of age, gender, education level, and transcriptional score (calculated by 10 miRNA profiles). Compared with the independent clinical model or 10 miRNA panel separately, the nomogram was reliable and satisfactory because the area under the ROC curve achieved 0.72 (95% confidence interval, 0.68-0.77) and obtained a superior clinical net benefit in DCA based on external datasets. Moreover, calibration curves also revealed its excellent prediction power.

conclusionThe constructed nomogram has potential for large-scale early screening of PD based upon its utility and precision.
