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

backgroundGastrointestinal dysfunction (GID) accompanies any phase of Parkinson's disease (PD), underlying differential clinical-pathological trajectories.

objectiveTo investigate associations between GID and peripheral immune or neurodegeneration-related markers in PD.

methodsOne-hundred-and-fourteen patients (n = 55 de novo, DN; n = 59 middle-advanced, MA) completed the Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Scale for PD (GIDS-PD), and other motor and non-motor scales; paired measurement of amyloid-β42, amyloid-β42β/β40, total-tau, phosphorylated-181-tau, total α-synuclein CSF levels, albumin ratio, and peripheral blood cell count were collected. Group and correlation analyses were performed.

resultsMA patients had greater GID than DN. GIDS-PD scores directly correlated with MDS-UPDRS-III and non-motor scores in both groups, although more in DN. GIDS-PD scores were directly associated with α-synuclein and inversely with lymphocytes only in DN; conversely, they were positively associated with tau proteins and albumin ratio, and negatively with amyloid-β-peptides in both groups.

conclusionsThe burden of GID increases along the PD course with associated stage-specific clinical-biological patterns.
