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

backgroundDepression is reported as a risk factor, prodromal feature and late consequence of Parkinson's disease (PD). We aimed to evaluate the timing, neuroanatomy and prognostic implications of depression in PD.

methodsWe used data from 434 023 participants from UK Biobank with 14.1 years of follow-up. Multivariable regression models established associations of depression with incident PD and regional brain volumes. Cox proportional hazards models assessed prognostic associations of depression in PD with incident dementia and all-cause mortality.

resultsOf 2632 individuals with incident PD, 539 (20.5%) were diagnosed with depression at some point. Depression was associated with an increased risk of subsequent PD (risk ratio 1.53, 95% CI 1.37 to 1.72). Among incident PD cases, depression prevalence rose progressively from 10 years pre-PD diagnosis (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.57 to 2.83) to 10 years postdiagnosis (OR 3.51, 95% CI 1.33 to 9.22). Depression severity in PD was associated with reduced grey matter volume in structures including the thalamus and amygdala. Depression prior to PD diagnosis increased risk of dementia (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.07) and mortality (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.58).

conclusionsThis large-scale prospective study demonstrated that depression prevalence increases from 10 years before PD diagnosis and is a marker of cortical and subcortical volume loss. Depression before PD diagnosis signals a worse prognosis in terms of dementia and mortality. This has clinical implications in stratifying people with poorer cognitive and prognostic trajectory in PD.
