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.

2 · The registry

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

BackgroundApathy, defined as a quantitative reduction in goal-directed activity, is a non-motor manifestation that can be present in Parkinson's disease (PD). It seems to be a risk factor for conversion to dementia (PDD) in this population. Amyloid-β deposition also predicts progression to PDD.ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate whether PD patients with apathy showed higher amyloid burden than those without, as well as how these features may influence the rate of progression to dementia.MethodsWe conducted an observational cross-sectional and longitudinal study. Forty-eight PD patients were recruited, including 20 with apathy and 28 without it according to the Starkstein Apathy Scale. They underwent clinical and cognitive evaluations and [
