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

Gender differences in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) may become relevant for clinical trials, treatment decisions and patient counseling. To study gender associated differences we conducted a retrospective data analysis of 191 male and 157 female PSP patients from a large multicenter observational cohort in Germany. While no differences in motor skills, disease severity, daily living abilities, global cognitive status and depressive symptoms were observed between genders, male patients showed significantly higher apathy scores, a finding also noted in other neurological diseases. In this study, apart from male patients exhibiting higher levels of apathy, no significant disease-specific gender differences were observed in PSP patients.
