Longitudinal Associations between Depression, Daytime Sleepiness, and Caregiver Strain in Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 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
objectiveExamine the longitudinal relationship between caregiver strain and Parkinson's patient depression, daytime sleepiness, and treatment with dopamine agonists and antidepressants.
backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, in which family caregivers play an integral role in patient care. Depression and daytime sleepiness in PD patients have been shown to influence caregiver strain.
methodsThis study was a longitudinal analysis of PD patient sleep and depression measures, and a measure of caregiver strain. Strain scores were modeled as a function of: accumulated time between visits, PD patient depression and sleep scores, and their interactions with time.
resultsCaregiver strain increased over time, with patient depression and daytime sleepiness positively associated with greater caregiver strain.
conclusionsPatient depressive symptoms consistently predicted caregiver strain, highlighting the central role of patient depression in caregiver well-being. Routine caregiver evaluations during patient visits facilitate timely interventions that benefit patients and caregivers.
