Advanced Parkinson's disease and eligibility for device-aided therapies in Morocco: a multicenter cross-sectional study.

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.
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
aimThis study investigates the prevalence and clinical features of advanced Parkinson's disease (APD) in Moroccan patients and evaluates their eligibility for Device-Aided Therapies (DATs), including Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Continuous Subcutaneous Apomorphine Infusion (CSAI), and Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel infusion (LCIG).
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study across 15 facilities in five cities within the Casablanca-Settat region, Morocco. We collected demographics, clinical, and health-related quality of life data. Logistic regression identified factors predicting disease progression and DATs eligibility.
resultsThis study included 370 patients with Parkinson's disease, of whom 44.6% (95%CI: 39.5%-49.8%) had APD. Each additional year of disease duration increased APD odds by 8% (ORa = 1.08,
conclusionAlthough many Moroccan patients qualify for DATs, their use is minimal. Addressing access barriers is crucial to improve outcomes.
