Impaired Sequential Working Memory in Patients With Young Onset Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
backgroundSequential working memory refers to the cognitive ability to maintain and/or manipulate a set of ordered representations within a short period. It remains unclear whether sequential working memory is impaired in patients with young onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD).
objectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the sequential working memory in patients with YOPD.
methodsSixty-three YOPD patients (29 women) and one hundred age- and education-matched healthy controls participated in three well-established sequential working memory tests. The YOPD patients were categorized into akinetic rigid type (PD-ART) and non-akinetic rigid type (PD-NART). Participants were asked to maintain digit sequences in mind in the digit span forward (DST-F) and to maintain and manipulate digit sequences in mind in the digit span backward (DST-B) and adaptive digit ordering tests (DOT-A).
resultsThe PD-ART group scored lower and had higher ordering costs (difference between the DST-F and DOT-A scores) than the healthy control group in the DOT-A. Moreover, in the PD-ART group, the daily levodopa equivalent dose for dopamine D2/3 receptor agonists positively correlated with the DOT-A score and negatively correlated with the DOT-A ordering cost, suggesting that patients who took a greater dose of dopamine D2/3 receptor agonists tended to have higher DOT-A scores and lower DOT-A ordering costs.
conclusionsThese results indicated that the impaired sequential working memory may be one of markers of identifying early cognitive impairment in patients with YOPD, especially in PD-ART patients. The dopamine D2/3 receptor agonists can recover this impairment to some extent.
