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

Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibits substantial phenotypic variability, likely influenced, at least in part, by proteins associated with pathways integral to aging processes. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (SERPIN E1) is known for its association with aging processes and exacerbated α-Synuclein pathology. We examined whether SERPIN E1 levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) differ among controls (CON, N = 16) and patients with PD (N = 479) or Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB, N = 67), considering that these conditions represent a spectrum of α-Synuclein pathology. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis stratified by SERPIN E1 tertile levels was conducted to evaluate phenotype-modifying effects. Elevated levels of SERPIN E1 exhibited an association with increased age and lower MOCA scores. Heightened SERPIN E1 levels were observed in individuals diagnosed with DLB, followed by PD and CON, and in males compared to females. The quantification of SERPIN E1 in CSF could potentially serve as a surrogate marker, depicting (pathological) aging processes.
