Diagnostics of olfactory dysfunction in Parkinson's disease - a literature overview and case series.
Review in Biomedical papers of the Medical Faculty of the University Palacky, Olomouc, Czechoslovakia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Olfactory dysfunction is increasingly recognised for its predictive value as an early indicator of a number of degenerative neuropathologies including Parkinson's Disease (PD). In this overview, we cover the relationship between PD and olfactory dysfunction (OD). Prodromal premotor symptoms of PD include sleep disturbances, psychiatric disorders, constipation and OD. The latter can precede motor symptoms by several years and its occurrence is frequent in Parkinson s disease with a prevalence that can range from 45%-90%. Olfactory perception in these cases can be tested using subjective and objective methods. Commonly used psychophysical tests in the Czech Republic include Sniffin' Sticks Tests and the Odorized Marker Test but these may be inaccurate and demanding on patients with cognitive deficits in addition to motor symptoms. For these reasons, objective electrophysiological olfactory tests that depend on olfactory/trigeminal event-related potentials (OERPs/TERPs) for example are more useful. In this paper we describe a series of case reports, demonstrating the importance of comprehensive olfactory examination. The significance of objective electrophysiological olfactory/ trigeminal tests in the diagnosis of PD, is underscored given the rising incidence of this condition and the need for early diagnosis.
