Evaluating impulse control disorders in people with Parkinson's disease: agreement and added value of patient and caregiver reports.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. 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: People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) treated with dopamine agonists are at increased risk for developing impaired impulse control behavior. It has been suggested that patients tend to underreport problems with impaired impulse control, indicating that caregiver evaluations may be a helpful supplement to clinical assessment. Objective: To examine the agreement between evaluations of impaired impulse control provided by people with PD treated with dopamine agonists and by their caregivers. Methods: People with PD and their caregivers independently completed the validated Questionnaire for Impulse-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease-Rating Scale (QUIP-RS) and the Impulse Control Disorders and Related Conditions (ICDRC) questionnaire. Patient and caregiver assessment were compared statistically for total scores and subscores on both questionnaires. Results: Overall, patient and caregiver assessment on both the QUIP-RS and ICDRC showed no consistent systematic differences. Patients reported a slightly higher total ICDRC score and higher combined subscores for punding and dopamine dysregulation syndrome compared to their caregivers. Further, patient evaluations showed a wider range of responses for hypersexuality (QUIP-RS and ICDRC) and for gambling (ICDRC). Conclusion: The assessment of impaired impulse control remains difficult, and our findings indicate that the role of caregiver evaluations is still uncertain.
