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

backgroundThe lived experience of Parkinson's disease (PD) includes motor and non-motor symptoms. There is a need to capture the earliest patient experiences in a sensitive and reliable manner for the successful development of interventions that may delay clinical progression in PD.

objectiveOur aim was to synthesize published literature about patient-reported symptoms in prodromal and early motor stages of PD and develop a conceptual framework of the earliest lived experiences in PD.

methodsWe conducted a scoping review of the published literature in MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and CINAHL databases and abstracted patient-reported symptoms from included studies reporting on prodromal or early motor stages of PD populations.

resultsWe included 59 articles with data from 64 cohorts (prodromal PD: n = 20/64; 31%, early motor PD: n = 44/64, 69%). Overall, the 10 most frequent symptoms (of 85 standardized reported symptoms [SRSs]) were non-motor. SRSs were grouped into symptom domains (behavioral, cognition, dysautonomia, motor, sensory, sleep, and others) and functional domains (activities of daily living, communication, sexual, and social impairment). The Movement Disorder Society sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale parts Ib and II (n = 13/64, 20%) and ad hoc questionnaires (n = 12/64, 19%) were the most frequently used measurement tools.

conclusionAt prodromal and early motor stages of PD, individuals report symptoms of a diverse range of motor and non-motor domains and higher-level functional domains. There is a need to capture the full spectrum of this lived experience in a new patient-reported clinical outcome measure for clinical trials in the earliest clinical stages of PD.
