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

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is often associated with orthostatic hypotension (OH). However, research examining the relationship between OH and PD has yielded inconsistent results. This study conducts a meta-analysis to determine the associations between OH and clinical characteristics in individuals with PD. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed by searching for studies related to PD and OH in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Data were pooled as necessary to calculate the odds ratios (OR) and weighted mean differences (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for OH in PD patients. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I Results: A total of 26 articles involving 3,992 patients with Parkinson's disease were included in our study. Patients with PD and OH were significantly older at the time of examination compared to those without OH (WMD 2.94 years, 95% CI 1.91-3.97 years; I Conclusion: Patients with PD and OH tend to be older at the time of examination, exhibit a longer disease duration, and demonstrate more severe disease manifestations along with greater cognitive impairment compared to PD patients without OH.
