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

backgroudOrthostatic hypotension (OH) is not rare in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). To date, there have been few studies on the association of genetic variants with OH.

objectivesWe aimed to evaluate the association of LRRK2 and GBA variants with OH in a large PD cohort.

methodsThis study utilized data from the PPMI database, including 863 participants who were divided into the sporadic PD patients (sPD, n = 357), GBA variant carriers (GBA-PD, n = 137), LRRK2 variant carriers (LRRK2-PD, n = 158) and healthy controls (HC, n = 211). LRRK2-PD patients were additionally categorized into G2019S (n = 141) and R1441G (n = 16). GBA-PD patients were categorized into three subgroups by the genomic categorization.

resultsNo significant difference was found in the incidence of OH among the four groups at baseline. Lower University of Pennsylvania Scent Identification Test (UPSIT) scores, higher Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) score and the risk GBA mutations were significantly associated with OH cross-sectionally. Higher Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) total and part II scores, higher Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores, higher RBDSQ scores and higher Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic Questionnaire (SCOPA-AUT) scores were strongly linked with OH progression over time. LRRK2 mutations especially LRRK2 G2019S mutation were significantly associated with the lower risk of OH progression.

conclusionLRRK2-PD, particularly the LRRK2-G2019S-PD, were found to have a lower risk of OH. In contrast, the role of GBA mutations in OH appears more complex, with no further evidence to suggest that GBA is associated with the progression of OH in PD.
