Sublingual apomorphine in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Review in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Advanced Parkinson´s disease (PD) is often complicated by fluctuations of disability depending on plasma levels of levodopa. For most patients OFF phases with worsening of tremor and immobility, but also pain, depression, autonomic symptoms are troublesome. While adjustments of levodopa administrations can relief such fluctuations for some time, "on demand" therapies become more and more important. These "on demand" therapies should provide fast and efficacious relief. During the past years, new options for on demand therapies in PD-associated OFF episodes have been developed, including new formulations of levodopa and apomorphine to provide fast and readily accessible on demand treatment. In this narrative review, the challenges of the treatment of PD-associated fluctuations and OFF states are addressed, with a special focus on sublingual apomorphine (SL-APO) including the results from recent clinical trials.
