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

BackgroundWhile sleep disturbances are among the most frequent non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), there is a lack of evidence to support its treatment.ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of opicapone 50 mg in treating sleep disturbances in patients with PD and end-of-dose motor fluctuations.MethodsOASIS was an exploratory, open-label, single-arm clinical trial in PD patients with end-of-dose motor fluctuations and associated sleep disturbances. The primary endpoint was change from baseline to week 6 in Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale 2 (PDSS-2). Secondary endpoints included functional motor and non-motor assessments (Movement Disorder Society [MDS]-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale [UPDRS], MDS-Non-motor Scale [NMS], 8-item PD Questionnaire [PDQ-8], 16-item PD Fatigue Scale [PFS-16], ON/OFF home diary), Clinical and Patient Global Impression of Change (CGI-C; PGI-C) and adverse events.ResultsAt week 6, there was a significant reduction of -7.9 points (95%CI -13.6, -2.2;
