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: To assess the incidence of Impulse control and related behavioral disorders (ICRD) in Chinese Idiopathic Parkinson Disease (IPD) patients treated with different dopamine agonists (DA), and their clinical characteristics and associated risk factors. Methods: This was an observational cohort study based on clinical interviews and medical records of IPD patients treated with DA for >6 months in three hospitals in Hong Kong. The short version of Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease (QUIP-S) was used to screen for ICRD. ICRD incidence among different DA, clinical characteristics and risk factors were examined. Results: Incidence of ICRD was analyzed in 311 patients taking their first, single DA. 43 patients (13.8 %) developed ICRD. The mean duration of IPD was 8.5 ± 5.6 years and median HY stage was 2.5. Bromocriptine and rotigotine users had lower ICRD incidence rate. Both pramipexole [adjusted HR 7.28 (2.46-21.54), p < 0.001] and ropinirole [adjusted HR 6.53 (2.67-15.99), p < 0.001] were independently associated with higher risk of ICRD compared to bromocriptine in multivariate analysis. Similarly, pramipexole and ropinirole appeared to carry higher risk compared to rotigotine but did not reach statistical significance. Male [adjusted HR 2.24 (1.07-4.72), p = 0.033], younger IPD onset [adjusted HR 2.99 (1.44-6.19) for onset < 50 year, p = 0.003] and history of psychiatric disorders [adjusted HR 2.80 (1.39-5.62), p = 0.004] were other independent risk factors. Conclusion: Bromocriptine and probably rotigotine carried a lower ICRD risk compared to pramipexole and ropinirole.
