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: Parkinson's disease (PD) involves progressive gray matter (GM) atrophy, but stage-specific imaging patterns and their genetic mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to characterize GM atrophy across PD stages and link these patterns to transcriptional profiles. Methods: A total of 542 patients with PD were obtained from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database, including early-stage (<2.5 years, Results: Compared to early-stage PD, the mid-stage showed brain GM atrophy in brain regions such as the right angular gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, and middle frontal gyrus ( Conclusion: Progressive GM atrophy in PD reflects coordinated but stage-differentiated molecular processes, revealing cellular and genetic architectures underlying disease progression.
