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
Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is marked not only by motor symptoms but also by neuropsychiatric manifestations, including demoralization, apathy, and depression. Understanding the clinical distribution and characteristics of these co-occurring symptoms is crucial for improving quality of life of PD patients. Methods: This study enrolled 195 Chinese PD patients from Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. The study involved analyzing the clinical characteristics related to the simultaneous presence of demoralization, apathy, and depression in PD patients. Linear regression was employed to elucidate the linear trend between the quantity of negative neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive function, as well as motor symptoms and motor complications. SPSS mediation models were utilized to investigate whether the severity of cognitive function mediated the connection between multiple negative neuropsychiatric symptoms and motor symptoms. Results: Among PD patients, a notable 57.5% experience the presence of multiple concurrent negative neuropsychiatric symptoms. Our investigation unveiled a correlation where patients with more negative neuropsychiatric symptoms displayed heightened cognitive impairment (P=0.048) and more severe motor symptoms (P=0.024), following a linear trend with increasing symptom numbers. Additionally, cognitive impairment played a partial mediating role in the impact of multiple negative neuropsychiatric symptoms on motor symptoms (β=0.747; 95% bootstrap confidence interval: 0.195 to 1.532). Conclusions: The co-occurrence of these negative neuropsychiatric symptoms has the potential to worsen cognitive function and motor symptoms in PD patients. Moreover, cognitive impairment was identified as playing a partial mediating role in the relationship between multiple negative neuropsychiatric symptoms and motor symptoms.
