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

Objectives: Aimed to investigate whether there are abnormal changes in the functional connectivity (FC) between the amygdala with other brain areas, in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with anxiety. Methods: Participants were enrolled prospectively, and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating (HAMA) Scale was used to quantify anxiety disorder. Rest-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) was applied to analyze the amygdala FC patterns among anxious PD patients, non-anxious PD patients, and healthy controls. Results: Thirty-three PD patients were recruited, 13 with anxiety, 20 without anxiety, and 19 non-anxious healthy controls. In anxious PD patients, FC between the amygdala with the hippocampus, putamen, intraparietal sulcus, and precuneus showed abnormal alterations compared with non-anxious PD patients and healthy controls. In particular, FC between the amygdala and hippocampus negatively correlated with the HAMA score (r = -0.459, p = 0.007). Conclusion: Our results support the role of the fear circuit in emotional regulation in PD with anxiety. Also, the abnormal FC patterns of the amygdala could preliminarily explain the neural mechanisms of anxiety in PD.
