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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an incurable, progressive and common movement disorder that is increasing in incidence globally because of population aging. We hypothesized that the landscape of rare, protein-altering variants could provide further insights into disease pathogenesis. Here we performed whole-exome sequencing followed by gene-based tests on 4,298 PD cases and 5,512 controls of Asian ancestry. We showed that GBA1 and SMPD1 were significantly associated with PD risk, with replication in a further 5,585 PD cases and 5,642 controls. We further refined variant classification using in vitro assays and showed that SMPD1 variants with reduced enzymatic activity display the strongest association (<44% activity, odds ratio (OR) = 2.24, P = 1.25 × 10
