Vascular parkinsonism showing dopamine transporter scan findings mimicking those of Parkinson's disease.
Article in eNeurologicalSci, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dopamine transporter (DAT) scan is important in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). We herein report a patient with vascular parkinsonism (VP) who showed dopamine transporter (DAT) scan findings which mimicked those typically seen in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). DAT scan findings in patients with VP are characterized by a lower striatal asymmetry index than in patients with PD and decreased uptake in the area consistent with old cerebral infarction or hemorrhage. However, we should be aware that, as in our patient, VP patients with asymmetric basal ganglia lesions, may show increased striatal asymmetry index and asymmetric DAT scan findings.
