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

Introduction: Nearly four million LGBTQ+ adults aged 50 and older live in the U.S., with up to 40,000 currently living with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, little is known about PD-related symptoms in this population. Methods: From 2022 to 2025, we conducted a national cross-sectional study using a convenience sample of LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ individuals living with PD ( Results: The sample included 89 LGBTQ+ and 165 non-LGBTQ+ individuals living with PD. On average, LGBTQ+ participants were 5.3 years younger than their non-LGBTQ+ counterparts (mean age: 62.9 vs. 68.3). Compared with non-LGBTQ+ participants, LGBTQ+ individuals living with PD were more likely to report anxiety (53.9% vs. 33.3%, Discussion: This study highlights potential disparities in PD-related symptoms, with LGBTQ+ individuals, persons of color, and those experiencing healthcare discrimination being more likely to report physical, mental and social health challenges. There is a need for further research on the health needs of diverse populations living with PD, including LGBTQ+ adults, as well as the development of tailored and inclusive healthcare strategies.
