Copper, Ceruloplasmin, Zinc, and Manganese Levels in Brain and Biological Fluids from Parkinson's Disease Patients: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to establish whether the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum/plasma whole blood, urine, and hair levels of copper, ceruloplasmin, zinc, and manganese are related to the risk for Parkinson's disease (PD). We reviewed the PubMed and Web of Science Core Collection databases from 1966 to 29 November 2025, and identified references of interest for this topic. We performed the meta-analysis of eligible studies that followed the PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines, with the R software package meta R 4.2.0 version. When compared to age- and sex-matched controls, PD patients showed decreased concentrations of copper in the
