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

Background: There has been some evidence that neuroinflammation is involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) and in psychiatric disorders. Objective: To explore the effects of IL-1β rs16944 on PD patients' neuropsychiatric symptoms. Methods: Two hundred and eighty-one consecutive PD patients underwent a neurological and neuropsychological evaluations, which included: Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living scale, Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease-Anytime Short, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Dementia Rating Scale-2. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) was also applied to patients' caregivers/informants. In addition to IL-1β rs16944, DRD3 rs6280 and GRIN2B rs7301328 were also genotyped. Non-parametric group comparisons and linear and logistic regressions were used for data analyses. Results: The IL-1β rs16944 (specifically TT vs. CC) genotype was associated with increased frequency of impulse-control behaviors and disorders (ICBDs) and impulse control disorders (ICDs; OR = 3.54, Conclusion: Study findings suggest that a polymorphism previously associated with increased IL-1β expression may increase the risk of certain neuropsychiatric symptoms in PD.
