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.

Abstract

Purpose: To explore glymphatic system function in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with anxiety using multimodal imaging: diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS), enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) number, and choroid plexus volume (CPV). Patients and Methods: In this prospective observational study, 64 PD patients (34 with anxiety [PD-A] and 30 without anxiety [PD-NA]) and 42 healthy controls (HC) were recruited. All participants underwent clinical assessments for anxiety, depression, cognition, and motor symptoms. DTI-ALPS index, EPVS number, and CPV were compared among the three groups, and a composite model integrating these multimodal metrics was developed.Additionally,a partial correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the above three imaging indicators and clinical characteristics in PD-A. Results: Compared to the PD-NA, DTI-ALPS Conclusion: PD patients exhibit cerebral glymphatic dysfunction, which is more severe in those with anxiety. Increased CPV is associated with anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline in PD-A patients. Combining multimodal MRI metrics shows potential clinical utility for evaluating glymphatic function. Trial registration number: NCT06858176.
