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

backgroundBoth autonomic dysfunction and low levels of physical activity could contribute to reduced cardiorespiratory fitness in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the interrelationship between these concepts is not well understood.

objectivesOur aim was to gain more insight into autonomic dysfunction and physical activity in relation to cardiorespiratory fitness in PD.

methodsWe included 59 individuals with PD (37% women, mean age 65.1 years; mean disease duration 4.5 years; Hoehn and Yahr stage 1-3). All participants completed a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). We examined the association between parameters assessed during a CPET (peak oxygen consumption [VO

resultsHigher SCOPA-AUT was associated with lower HR

conclusionsBoth autonomic dysfunction and physical activity are associated with a reduced cardiorespiratory response to exercise in PD, but affected different CPET parameters. Future studies should determine the responsiveness of these CPET parameters to change, in order to implement such parameters as endpoints in clinical trials.
