Treatment-resistant Parkinson's disease psychosis responding to xanomeline-trospium: A case report.
Article in Clinical parkinsonism & related disorders, 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
We report the case of an 83-year-old male with Parkinsonism and severe psychosis characterized by persistent daytime and nighttime hallucinations associated with marked fear and distress. His psychosis failed to respond to therapeutic trials of quetiapine, brexpiprazole, and pimavanserin. He was referred specifically for a trial of clozapine therapy, which the patient and caregiver declined due to its risk profile. Treatment with xanomeline-trospium was initiated at 50/20 mg twice daily and resulted in substantial improvement, including resolution of nighttime hallucinations within two weeks. He further achieved a near complete resolution of psychotic symptoms within three weeks of a dose escalation to 100/20 mg twice daily. To our knowledge, this is the first published case of Parkinson's disease psychosis successfully treated with xanomeline-trospium, a novel M1/M4 muscarinic receptor agonist-based therapy. The patient's psychosis proved refractory to three pharmacologically distinct therapies-quetiapine, a low-affinity, rapidly dissociating dopamine D2 receptor antagonist; brexpiprazole, a dopamine D2 partial agonist; and pimavanserin, a selective 5-HT2A receptor inverse agonist-before improving with xanomeline-trospium, whose antipsychotic effects are mediated through central M1/M4 muscarinic receptor agonism. This case supports the further investigation of muscarinic receptor agonism as a therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease psychosis.
