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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, with increasing global incidence and prevalence. While PD is diagnosed based on the presence of classic motor symptoms including tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity, non-motor symptoms also play an important role in disease pathogenesis. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that non-motor symptoms, including neuropsychiatric changes, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, autonomic dysfunction, and pain and sensory symptoms, significantly affect PD patients' disease burden, quality of life, and utilization of healthcare resources. SUMMARY: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for motor symptoms in advanced PD. The neurophysiology changes associated with PD motor symptoms are relatively well understood and have been used to inform closed-loop DBS approaches to improve motor symptom control. Unfortunately, effective treatments for many of the non-motor symptoms of advanced PD are lacking, and DBS to treat motor symptoms may worsen non-motor symptoms such as depression, cognitive impairment, and impulsive and compulsive behaviors in some patients. KEY MESSAGES: Recent work has provided some insight into neurophysiological changes underlying nonmotor symptoms, which may inform development of future therapeutic approaches. In this manuscript, we review neurophysiology biomarkers associated with non-motor symptoms and their application to developing novel neuromodulation treatments. We additionally review how existing DBS approaches may impact non-motor symptoms. We highlight the need for precise and individualized neuromodulation approaches.
