Visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease are associated with deficits in social perception.

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
BackgroundMost structured visual hallucinations (VH) in Parkinson's disease (PD) involve animate-social objects, yet current theories fail to account for the prominent social component of VH in PD.ObjectiveTo study social perception in PD patients with VH in a behavioral task and its relationship with social traits such as perceived social isolation and anthropomorphism (tendency to ascribe human-like characteristics to non-human stimuli).MethodsIn this online web-based study, 28 PD with visual hallucinations (PD-VH), 55 PD patients without hallucinations (PD-nH), and 45 age-matched healthy controls (HC) performed a visual social task (human numerosity estimation), a control task, and filled an anthropomorphism and a loneliness questionnaire.ResultsOur data reveal a deficit in social visual perception characterized by a larger overestimation bias in human numerosity estimation in PD-VH versus control PD-nH and HC. Moreover, PD-VH had higher social traits of anthropomorphism and loneliness versus control PD-nH and HC and the overestimation bias was absent for non-human control stimuli.ConclusionsThese data describe a stronger social visual deficit and higher social traits in PD patients with VH, suggesting that neurodegenerative changes in PD-VH predominantly affect structures involved in social visual perception.
