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

Depending on zygosity and the specific change, different variants in the GBA1 gene can cause Parkinson's disease (PD, PARK-GBA1) with reduced penetrance, act as genetic risk factors for PD or parkinsonism, and/or lead to Gaucher's disease (GD). This MDSGene systematic literature review covers 27,963 patients carrying GBA1 variants from 1082 publications with 794 variants, including 13,342 patients with PD or other forms of parkinsonism. It provides a comprehensive overview of demographic, clinical, and genetic findings from an ethnically diverse sample originating from 82 countries across five continents. The most frequent pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were "N409S" (aka "N370S"; dominating among Jewish and Whites), and "L483P" (aka "L444P"; dominating among Asians and Hispanics), whereas the most common coding risk variants were "E365K" (E326K), and "T408M" (T369M) (both common among Whites). A novel finding is that early-onset PD patients were predominantly of Asian ethnicity, whereas late-onset PD patients were mainly of White ethnicity. Motor cardinal features were similar between PD patients and other forms of parkinsonism, whereas motor complications and non-motor symptoms were more frequently reported in PD patients carrying "severe" variants than in those with "risk" or "mild" variants. Cognitive decline was reported in most patients after surgical treatment, despite achieving a beneficial motor function response. Most GD patients developing PD harbored the "N409S" variant, were of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity, and showed a positive response to chronic levodopa treatment. With this review, we start to fill the gaps regarding genotype-phenotype correlations in GBA1 variant carriers, especially concerning PD. © 2025 The Author(s).
