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

backgroundSubjective cognitive complaints (SCC) are frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD), but their significance in cognitively unimpaired individuals remains uncertain.

objectivesTo investigate the frequency of SCC in cognitively unimpaired PD patients and examine associations with objective cognition, mood symptoms, and anosognosia.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 74 PD patients with preserved cognitive performance based on the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) were included. SCC were assessed using the Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ-10). Mood symptoms were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Associations were analyzed using nonparametric tests, correlations, and multivariable linear regression. Anosognosia was estimated using a subjective-objective discrepancy index.

resultsSCC were present in 36 participants (48.6%). SCC status was not associated with ACE-R total or memory scores. SCC+ participants showed higher affective symptom burden and greater motor severity. PRMQ-10 scores correlated with HADS measures, particularly depressive symptoms. In adjusted models, SCC status showed a modest positive association with ACE-R total scores. No descriptive evidence of systematic discrepancy between subjective and objective memory measures was observed.

conclusionsSCC were highly prevalent in cognitively unimpaired PD and were more strongly associated with affective burden and motor severity than with objective cognitive performance.
