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

Pathogenic variants in the LRRK2 gene are one of the most commonly identifiable monogenic causes of Parkinson´s disease (PD, PARK-LRRK2). This systematic MDSGene literature review comprehensively summarizes published demographic, clinical, and genetic findings related to LRRK2 variants ( https://www.mdsgene.org/ ). Data on 4660 individuals with 283 different variants were curated. The median age at onset in the PD patients with available information was 56 years, notably, with approximately one-third having PD onset <50 years. Tremor was the most frequently reported initial symptom and more common than reported in other dominantly inherited forms of PD. Of the 211 potentially PD-causing variants, 25 were classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, and the remaining 186 (88.2%) were variants of uncertain significance. p.G2019S was the most frequently reported pathogenic variant, followed by p.R1441G and p.R1441C. This systematic review represents the most extensive database on PARK-LRRK2 to date and provides a vital resource to improve precision medicine.
