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

Background Hyperkinetic motor features are uncommon in Parkinson's disease and related parkinsonisms and may reflect underlying genetic susceptibility. Methods We describe three sporadic patients with parkinsonism and prominent hyperkinetic manifestations who underwent clinical exome sequencing. To provide preliminary context for these observations, we reviewed genetic data from an additional cohort of 11 patients with sporadic parkinsonism who underwent clinical exome sequencing in our center but did not exhibit early hyperkinetic manifestations Results All patients carried heterozygous variants in genes involved in vascular, inflammatory, and tau related pathways (NOS3 c.774 T > C; APOE c.388 T > C). Clinical phenotypes ranged from late-onset parkinsonism with severe choreic dyskinesias to young-onset dystonic parkinsonism with excellent dopaminergic responsiveness. Dopaminergic dysfunction was supported by functional neuroimaging. Conclusions These cases suggest that APOE and NOS3 variants may act as susceptibility modifiers, predisposing to hyperkinetic phenotypes within the parkinsonian spectrum.
