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

Background: Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are frequently overlooked, yet they significantly contribute to the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) or atypical parkinsonism (AP), which include multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Moreover, discrepancies exist in non-motor symptom scale (NMSS) scores for AP and PD, and no consensus has yet been reached. Purpose: We evaluated and compared the NMS and their association with life quality in patients with AP and PD. Methods: This cross-sectional observational report at a single-centre enrolling 204 patients (155 PD, 49 AP (27 MSA), and 22 PSP) from a tertiary care hospital's movement disorder clinic. We used Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS UPDRS)-III and modified Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) to compute a motor score and disease severity, respectively. We assessed patients' mental capabilities, such as cognitive impairment, through a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Meanwhile, the NMSS determined the NMSs. Quality of life (QoL) was estimated by PD Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39). Results: We observed insignificant differences between the PD and atypical parkinsonian syndrome (APS) groups based on disease duration and gender. Worsened motor disability and disease severity were observed in AP (PSP>MSA) ( Conclusion: Compared to PD, NMS was severe and highly prevalent among AP (MSA > PSP), which could be confirmed through the prevalence of sexual cardiovascular and urinary domains in MSA, while attention and mood/cognition, and sleep in PSP.
