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

Clinical differentiation of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from Parkinson's disease (PD) is challenging due to overlapping phenotypes and the late onset of specific atypical signs. Therefore, easily assessable diagnostic biomarkers are highly needed. Since PD is a synucleopathy while PSP is a tauopathy, here, we investigated the clinical usefulness of serum oligomeric-α-synuclein (o-α-synuclein) and 181Thr-phosphorylated tau (p-tau181), which are considered as the most important pathological protein forms in distinguishing between these two parkinsonisms. We assessed serum o-α-synuclein and p-tau181 by ELISA and SIMOA, respectively, in 27 PSP patients, 43 PD patients, and 39 healthy controls (HC). Moreover, we evaluated the correlation between serum biomarkers and biological and clinical features of these subjects. We did not find any difference in serum concentrations of p-tau181 and o-α-synuclein nor in the o-α-synuclein/p-tau181 ratio between groups. However, we observed that serum p-tau181 positively correlated with age in HC and PD, while serum o-α-synuclein correlated positively with disease severity in PD and negatively with age in PSP. Finally, the o-α-synuclein/p-tau181 ratio showed a negative correlation with age in PD.
