Preoperative Attention/Memory Problem Affects the Quality of Life of Parkinson's Disease Patients after Deep Brain Stimulation: A Cohort Study.

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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of nonmotor symptoms (NMS) on the quality of life (QoL) outcome after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) at the 1-year follow-up. Methods: Ninety-three patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD), who underwent subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) between April 2020 and August 2021, were included in this study. Demographic information was gathered through a self-designed questionnaire. The severity of both motor and non-motor symptoms, along with the quality of life (QoL), was assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-III (UPDRS-III), Nonmotor Symptoms Scale (NMSS), and 8-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8), respectively. Results: Significant differences were observed in the UPDRS-III score, NMSS summary index (SI), and subscores of six domains (sleep/fatigue, mood/cognition, perceptual problems/hallucinations, attention/memory, urinary, and sexual function) between the baseline and the 6- and 12-month follow-ups. The correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between the preoperative NMSS SI and subscores of seven domains (cardiovascular, sleep/fatigue, mood/cognition, perceptual problems/hallucinations, attention/memory, gastrointestinal, and urinary) and ΔPDQ-8. Moreover, the preoperative PDQ-8 SI ( Conclusion: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) led to an improvement in the patients' nonmotor symptoms (NMS) at the 1-year follow-up, along with a correlation observed between NMS and the patients' quality of life (QoL). Notably, the severity of preoperative attention/memory problems emerged as the most significant predictor of NMS influencing the QoL outcome after STN-DBS at the 1-year follow-up.
