Mortality and causes of death in patients with Parkinson's disease in Taiwan.
Article in Journal of Parkinson's disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BackgroundPrevious studies that examined Parkinson's disease (PD) mortality were mostly conducted in Western countries.ObjectsWe compared mortality rates and causes of death in PD patients and persons without PD from Taiwan over 15 years of follow-up.MethodsWithin the National Health Insurance database, we followed 50,290 incident PD patients (2003-2016) and 201,153 matched non-PD participants (controls) until 31/12/2018. We used multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression models to compare mortality rates and causes of death in PD patients and controls. Due to non-proportionality, we performed stratification by follow-up duration (≤5/>5 years). We examined interactions between PD status participants' characteristics for all-cause mortality.ResultsPD patients had higher all-cause mortality than controls (HR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.37-1.42); the association was stronger (
