The Impact of Integrating a Parkinson's Specialist Psychiatrist Into the Multidisciplinary Team on Patients With Parkinson's and Cognitive Impairment.
Article in Parkinson's disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) is common, but there is scarce evidence as to how this group of patients can be most effectively assessed and managed. Our quality improvement project evaluated the impact of integrating a PD specialist psychiatrist (PDSP) into an existing multidisciplinary team (MDT) to allow direct referral of patients with cognitive impairment rather than to a separate service. We collected data over 1 year to map the referral trajectories of patients through the new pathway and estimated cost savings by comparison with the previous pathway. Eighty-five patients were referred to our PDSP, 47 with cognitive impairment. Estimated cost savings attributed to the new pathway were more than £1000, with the greatest savings associated with patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Integration of a PDSP into our MDT led to a more streamlined service, rapid access to diagnosis and management and likely cost savings.
