Unraveling the role of GBA1 genotype in axial signs response to subthalamic deep brain stimulation.

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
GBA1 variants represent the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and are associated with higher risk of developing cognitive decline and axial motor impairment. While cognitive outcomes following subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) have recently received growing attention, axial signs progression remains poorly defined in this population. In this retrospective multicentric study, we analyzed a cohort of 353 PD patients who underwent bilateral STN-DBS surgery (75 GBA+ and 253 GBA-). 5-year follow-up data were available for 233 patients, including 43 mutated subjects. Lower off-medication UPDRS III score and levodopa responsiveness at baseline were identified as independent predictors of axial signs worsening after DBS, while GBA1 genotype was not identified as risk factor. The presence of GBA1 variants did not exert a detrimental effect on axial signs in PD patients up to five years following STN-DBS, supporting its consideration as a valid therapeutic option in this genetic subgroup.
