Pupil-light reflex in early-stage Parkinson's disease.
Article in Journal of Parkinson's disease, 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
We examined pupil-light reflex in 25 drug-naïve patients with newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease and compared them to 29 healthy controls. We also evaluated effects of symptomatic treatment and correlations with clinical scores. Besides a smaller pupil diameter at maximum constriction, no pupil parameter robustly distinguished patients from controls. Following initiation of symptomatic therapy, baseline pupil diameter and constriction amplitude increased, whereas peak constriction velocity remained unchanged and correlated with patient-reported autonomic symptoms. These findings suggest peak constriction velocity may reflect autonomic dysfunction less influenced by medication. Further studies should clarify the pupil-light reflex's clinical utility in Parkinson's disease.Plain Language Summary TitlePupil response to light in newly diagnosed Parkinson's patients.
