Distinction and mutual Influences between Parkinson's Disease-related and unrelated Chronic Pain.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundChronic pain (i.e. > 3 months) is a common nonmotor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), but the attribution to PD is critical for further treatment.
objectivesWe explored the PD Pain Classification System (PD-PCS) criteria for the diagnosis of PD-related pain and mutual influences between PD-related and PD-unrelated pain.
methodsIn this multicenter study, 120 nondemented PD patients were assessed using the PD-PCS as well as motor and nonmotor questionnaires. The PD-PCS consists of 3 steps: first, it classifies chronic pain as unrelated or related to PD according to 1 of 4 criteria (at onset or aggravated by PD, in the off phase, improvement with dopaminergic treatment, and with dyskinesia); second, it allows the classification of pain mechanisms (neuropathic, nociceptive, and nociplastic); and finally, it provides a score.
resultsChronic pain was present in 92% of patients, with PD-related pain in 73% and non-PD-related pain in 53%. Higher PD-PCS scores were reported when PD-related pain was present. In cases of concurrent PD-related and PD-unrelated pain (35%), there was a moderate correlation between pain severity. Improvement with dopaminergic medication and pain in the off phases were the most common factors defining an association of pain with PD. These factors often occur together, whereas pain during dyskinesia occurs independently.
conclusionThe PD-PCS criteria allow differentiation between PD-related and PD-unrelated chronic pain through 2 approaches, assessing periods of either low or high dopaminergic stimulation. PD-unrelated pain should also be taken into account, as it is more common than in the general population and as it may influence PD-related pain.
