Alterations in brain physiological pulsations in Parkinson's disease: a case-control study.
Article in Neuroimage. Reports, 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
Introduction: Brain physiological pulsations drive glymphatic clearance of neurotoxins from the brain. Neurodegenerative proteinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), have altered glymphatic function. This study compares brain physiological pulsations important for glymphatic clearance in PD and healthy controls (HC). Methods: PD (N = 13) and HC (N = 20) participants were evaluated using magnetic resonance encephalography (MREG), an ultrafast, 3D spherical stack-of-spirals dynamic neuroimaging technique, to assess spectral power and optical flow in cardiovascular, respiratory, and low-frequency vasomotor bands as indirect proxies for glymphatic clearance. Group differences were analyzed with two-sample t-tests, controlling for age and sex. Results: PD participants demonstrated significantly reduced power in the cardiovascular frequency band and reduced optical flow magnitude in the low-frequency vasomotor band in regions important for visual and cognitive processing and sensorimotor function. Conclusion: PD is associated with alterations in physiological pulsations important for glymphatic flow. Glymphatic clearance may represent a potential therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases.
