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.

Abstract

backgroundClinical progression rate is the typical primary endpoint measure in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) clinical trials.

objectivesThis longitudinal multicohort study investigated whether baseline clinical severity and regional brain atrophy could predict clinical progression in PSP-Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS).

methodsPSP-RS patients (n = 309) from the placebo arms of clinical trials (NCT03068468, NCT01110720, NCT02985879, NCT01049399) and DescribePSP cohort were included. We investigated associations of baseline clinical and volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data with 1-year longitudinal PSP rating scale (PSPRS) change. Machine learning (ML) models were tested to predict individual clinical trajectories.

resultsPSP-RS patients showed a mean PSPRS score increase of 10.3 points/yr. The frontal lobe volume showed the strongest association with subsequent clinical progression (β: -0.34, P < 0.001). However, ML models did not accurately predict individual progression rates (R

conclusionsBaseline clinical severity and brain atrophy could not predict individual clinical progression, suggesting no need for MRI-based stratification of patients in future PSP trials. © 2025 The Author(s).
