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

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease with no current disease-modifying treatments approved. Longitudinal research and clinical trials for PSP are ongoing and require reliable measures that are sensitive to disease progression. Despite susceptibility to subjective limitations, clinical and cognitive assessments are the most used instruments in therapeutic trials in PSP. The objective of this review was to identify measures that have been studied longitudinally as measures of progression and are suitable for use as clinical trial endpoints. We reviewed the measures currently used as trial endpoints, identifying the clinical, cognitive, fluid and imaging measures that have previously been studied longitudinally, and discuss current diagnostic and emerging measures that are yet to be studied longitudinally but that may be sensitive to disease progression. We found that many fluid and imaging measures require further research to validate their use as longitudinal measures of change, including emerging measures that have not yet been studied specifically in PSP. We also summarize the sample size estimates required to detect changes in a two-arm, 52-week therapeutic trial and found that specific MRI volumes require the smallest sample sizes to detect change.
