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.

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.

Abstract

BackgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease lacking treatments that modify progressive neuron loss. Terazosin (TZ) increases activity of the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase 1 and could potentially benefit impaired brain bioenergetics in PD. Preclinical data are encouraging, but we lack human data on relationships between TZ dose and measures of TZ target engagement in women and men.ObjectiveThis study evaluated the dose-dependent effects of TZ on brain and systemic bioenergetics and safety and tolerability in neurologically healthy older adults.MethodsWe administered TZ (1, 5, and 10 mg/day) to 18 neurologically healthy 60-85-year-old people. We measured plasma and cerebrospinal fluid TZ concentrations and changes in levels of whole blood ATP, brain ATP with
