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

The association between alcohol consumption and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk remains unclear, whereas smoking has an inverse relationship with the disease. This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed 16 studies (2014-2024) from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library to assess the relationship between alcohol intake and PD risk, examining sex differences, dose-response patterns, smoking interactions, and genetic factors. Alcohol consumption was classified as low, moderate, or heavy, considering beverage type, sex, smoking status, and gene-environment interactions. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to evaluate sex-stratified and subtype-specific associations. PD progression, Mendelian randomization (MR), and gene-environment results were narratively synthesized. Sex-stratified analyses showed inverse associations between alcohol consumption and PD risk versus non-drinkers (lifetime relative risk [LRR] = -0.35 to -0.62), with significant effects in women and no association in low-level drinkers. Subtype analyses indicated protective effects for liquor (RR = -0.12) and wine (RR = -0.16), but not for low-level drinkers. Combined alcohol and smoking exposure produced the greatest PD risk reduction (LRR = -0.37), with pooled estimates confirming an inverse association (LRR = -0.20, I
