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

Over the last two decades, visual symptoms and retinal changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) have emerged as important biomarkers. Color vision deficiency, which begins in the outer retina, has been increasingly investigated, but a focused review of these papers has not recently been conducted. Similarly, thinning of the outer retina as measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT) holds potential as a screening marker for PD, particularly as these devices are already commonplace in community and hospital settings. Moreover, outer retinal thinning may be more specific for Parkinson's disease as inner retinal changes also occur in more common neurodegenerative diseases like glaucoma and Alzheimer's disease. This review summarizes contemporary evidence on two outer retina focused measures, color vision and outer retinal thickness, which can be readily quantified using non-invasive approaches and thus examines their potential as biomarkers for screening, detection, and progression in PD.
