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

Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease involving multiple systems that can affect mortality. This study aimed to compare all-cause and cause-specific mortality between people with PD and without PD. Methods: This population-based prospective cohort study is based on Korean National Health Insurance Service data. The primary outcome was the hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for PD from 2010 to 2019. Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to calculate HRs under crude and three adjusted models with epidemiologic variables. Results: A total of 8,220 PD patients and 41,100 age- and sex-matched controls without PD were registered. Ten-year mortality was 47.9% in PD patients and 20.3% in non-PD controls. The mortality rate was higher among older and male participants. The leading cause of death in PD was nervous system diseases (38.73%), and 97.1% of those were extrapyramidal and movement disorders, followed by circulatory diseases (15.33%), respiratory diseases (12.56%), and neoplasms (9.7%). PD contributed to an increased risk of all-cause death with an HR of 2.96 (95% CI = 2.84-3.08). HRs of death for PD were 3.07 (95% CI = 2.74-3.45) from respiratory diseases, 1.93 (95% CI = 1.75-2.13) from circulatory diseases, 2.35 (95% CI = 2.00-2.77) from external causes, and 2.69 (95% CI = 2.10-3.43) from infectious diseases. Conclusion: These results showed that PD was related to a higher risk of mortality in all ages and sexes. The leading causes of death in PD were nervous, circulatory, respiratory, infectious diseases, and external causes.
