Effect of Butylphthalide soft capsules on cognitive function and dementia-related factors in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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
objectiveTo observe the effect of Butylphthalide soft capsules on improving cognitive function, activity of daily living, and dementia-related factors of elderly patients with Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
methodsThe clinical data of 126 elderly patients with PDD admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were assigned to a control group (conventional clinical treatment, n=50) and a research group (conventional clinical treatment combined with Butylphthalide soft capsules, n=76). The clinical response, clinical symptoms, cognitive function, activity of daily living (ADL), cerebral blood flow velocity, serum inflammatory factors, oxidative stress indices, neurotrophic factors, dementia-related factors, and drug safety were analyzed and compared between the two groups.
resultsThe overall response rate was significantly higher in the research group than in the control group (97.37% vs. 84.00%,
conclusionButylphthalide soft capsules have a definite effect and good safety in elderly patients with PDD during the COVID-19 pandemic.
