Risk of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders Following Parkinson's Disease: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 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
objectivePsychotic symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), yet it remains unclear whether these manifestations reflect transient, medication-related phenomena or an increased risk of clinically diagnosed schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). This study aimed to evaluate the long-term risk of incident SSD following PD using a nationwide population-based cohort and to assess whether this risk varies across demographic, lifestyle, and metabolic subgroups.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database from 2012 to 2023. Individuals newly diagnosed with PD were identified using repeated International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes and matched 1:5 with controls using propensity scores. Incident SSD was defined by repeated ICD-10 diagnoses. Incidence rates, incidence rate ratios, Kaplan-Meier curves, and Cox proportional hazards models were used.
resultsAmong 5,110 patients with PD and 25,550 matched controls, 128 and 177 incident cases of SSD were identified, respectively. The incidence rate of SSD was higher in the PD group than in controls (7.09 vs. 1.75 per 1,000 person-years), yielding an IRR of 4.06 (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.23-5.09). PD was associated with an increased risk of SSD after multivariable adjustment (adjusted hazard ratio 4.90; 95% CI, 3.52-6.81), with particularly elevated risk among individuals younger than 60 years.
conclusionPD was associated with a substantially increased long-term risk of SSD. These findings suggest that psychotic manifestations following PD may reflect persistent psychiatric morbidity rather than transient symptoms alone.
