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
Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are common non-motor features of Parkinson's disease (PD), significantly impacting quality of life. The impact of racial and gender disparities in this population remains underexplored. This study examines the association of race and gender with GI diseases in hospitalized patients with PD. Methods: A retrospective study using the National Inpatient Sample was conducted, including 124,345 hospitalized patients with PD. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess associations between GI diseases and race/ethnicity (White, Black, Hispanic) and sex, adjusting for confounders. Results: Overall prevalence of GI diseases in PD was 48.49%. Compared with White males, Black males had higher odds of dysphagia (aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.04-1.56), and both Black (aOR 2.19, 95% CI 1.48-3.36) and Hispanic patients (aOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.05-2.77) had significantly higher odds of gastrostomy tube placement. White females had significantly higher odds of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) (aOR 1.35, 95% CI 1.25-1.46), constipation (aOR 1.34, 95% CI 1.23-1.59), gastroparesis (GP) (aOR 3.44, 95% CI 2.23-5.31), and IBS (aOR 3.1, 95% CI 2.2-4.2), but lower odds of dysphagia (aOR 0.82, 95% CI 0.74-0.91), compared with White males. Hispanic females (aOR 2.64, 95% CI 1.52-4.56, Conclusion: Significant racial and gender disparities were observed in GI diseases among hospitalized patients with PD. White females showed higher odds of GERD, constipation, GP, and IBS, while Black and Hispanic patients were more likely to require gastrostomy tube placement.
