Association of Cortical Gyrification With Imaging and Serum Biomarkers in Patients With Parkinson Disease.
Article in Neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesPathologic progression across the cortex is a key feature of Parkinson disease (PD). Cortical gyrification is a morphologic feature of human cerebral cortex that is tightly linked to the integrity of underlying axonal connectivity. Monitoring cortical gyrification reductions may provide a sensitive marker of progression through structural connectivity, preceding the progressive stages of PD pathology. We aimed to examine the progressive cortical gyrification reductions and their associations with overlying cortical thickness, white matter (WM) integrity, striatum dopamine availability, serum neurofilament light (NfL) chain, and CSF α-synuclein levels in PD.
methodsThis study included a longitudinal dataset with baseline (T0), 1-year (T1), and 4-year (T4) follow-ups and 2 cross-sectional datasets. Local gyrification index (LGI) was computed from T1-weighted MRI data to measure cortical gyrification. Fractional anisotropy (FA) was computed from diffusion-weighted MRI data to measure WM integrity. Striatal binding ratio (SBR) was measured from
resultsThe longitudinal dataset included 113 patients with de novo PD and 55 healthy controls (HCs). The cross-sectional datasets included 116 patients with relatively more advanced PD and 85 HCs. Compared with HCs, patients with de novo PD showed accelerated LGI and FA reductions over 1-year period and a further decline at 4-year follow-up. Across the 3 time points, the LGI paralleled and correlated with FA ( DISCUSSION: We demonstrated progressive reductions in cortical gyrification that were robustly associated with WM microstructure, striatum dopamine availability, and serum NfL level in PD. Our findings may contribute biomarkers for PD progression and potential pathways for early interventions of PD.
