The interplay between GBA1 status and age of onset on cognitive, motor and non-motor outcomes in Parkinson's disease: multicenter cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAge at onset is a key determinant of disease course in the general Parkinson's disease (PD) population, but its influence among GBA-PD remains undetermined. This study investigates whether age at onset affects cognitive decline in GBA-PD patients and compares symptoms between GBA-PD and nonGBA-PD groups, stratified by age of onset.
methodsIn this multicentric cross-sectional study, PD patients were stratified into early onset (< 50 years), intermediate onset (50-60 years), and late onset (> 60 years). Demographic-clinical data and scores of the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic Dysfunction (SCOPA-AUT), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) were compared using ANCOVA. The effects of age of onset, GBA1 status, and their interaction were investigated. External validation on cognition was performed using data from the PPMI cohort.
resultsWe analyzed 80 GBA-PD and 236 nonGBA-PD patients. Among GBA-PD, late-onset patients exhibited worse axial scores (p = 0.037), while early-onset had more severe motor complications (p = 0.007) and dysautonomia (p = 0.012). Age of onset and GBA1 status did not influence MoCA scores. Conversely, GBA1 status independently affected MDS-UPDRS parts I and II (p < 0.001 and p = 0.019, respectively) and BDI-II scores (p = 0.002). Analysis on the external dataset (PPMI) showed late-onset PD had lower MoCA scores (p < 0.001) and confirmed GBA1 status did not influence cognition. DISCUSSION: In the first decade of PD, cognitive decline is mainly age and duration dependent, irrespective of GBA1 genotype. Early onset does not increase cognitive risk in GBA-PD, supporting its relevance for counseling and treatment planning.
