Gastric-filling ultrasonography to evaluate gastric motility in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Delayed gastric emptying is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there is currently no objective evaluation and diagnostic method for this condition. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of gastric-filling ultrasonography for gastric motility in patients with PD and the relationship between gastric dynamics and gastrointestinal symptoms and motor symptoms of PD. Design setting and patients: We performed a case-control study with 38 patients with PD and 34 healthy controls. Methods: All patients underwent a 120-min ultrasonography examination using a 500-ml semi-liquid test meal. We determined the antral contraction amplitude (ACA), the antrum contraction frequency (ACF), the motility index (MI), and the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA). We acquired the CSA at six time points: fasting for 12 h (T0), immediately after drinking the semi-liquid test meal (T1); and at 30 (T30), 60 (T60), 90 (T90), and 120 (T120) min. We calculated the gastric emptying rate (GER) at different time points by using the CSA. We compared the GER between the groups and evaluated the correlation between the GER and gastrointestinal symptoms and motor symptoms of PD. Results: The MI and ACF were significantly lower in the PD group compared with the control group ( Conclusion: Patients with PD had significantly delayed gastric emptying, which was negatively correlated with the severity of PD motor symptoms. Measuring gastric emptying by gastric-filling ultrasound had good diagnostic value in clinical screening for delayed gastric motility in patients with PD.
