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

backgroundResilience factors are crucial in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. However, it remains unclear whether a genetic predisposition to cognitive reserve influences clinical heterogeneity in the prognosis of Parkinson's disease (PD).

objectivesThe aim is to evaluate the utility of polygenic scores (PGSs) for cognitive reserve proxies, including intelligence (INT), educational attainment (EA), and occupational attainment (OA), in predicting the clinical progression of PD.

methodsGenetic and clinical data for progression of PD (progression to Hoehn and Yahr stage ≥3, progression to a Montreal Cognitive Assessment score ≤24, and occurrence of psychosis) were obtained from the Accelerating Medicine Partnership Parkinson's Disease database. We conducted multivariate Cox regression analysis, adjusting for relevant covariates, including years of education, variants in APOE, GBA1, LRRK2, and other cognitive reserve-related PGSs.

resultsAll cognitive reserve-related PGSs significantly reduced the risk of cognitive decline, and EA-PGS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.550; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.447-0.676; P < 0.001) remained significant after controlling for INT-PGS and OA-PGS. EA-PGS (HR, 0.805; 95% CI, 0.672-0.964; P = 0.019) was significantly associated with better motor prognosis after controlling for other PGSs. OA-PGS was linked to a decreased risk of developing psychosis in PD and remained significant after adjusting for others (HR, 0.784; 95% CI, 0.631-0.975; P = 0.029).

conclusionsGenetic proxies of cognitive reserve are associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline, motor progression, and development of psychosis in PD. These findings may enhance our understanding of individual differences in resilience in progression of PD. © 2025 The Author(s).
