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

backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) symptoms affects quality of life (QoL), but effects on life satisfaction (LS) are less studied.

objectivesThis study explored influences of motor and non-motor symptoms on QoL and LS in people with PD in Ireland.

methodsEight hundred twenty nine people with PD completed a survey of validated tools, exploring motor and non-motor symptoms, social connectedness, self-efficacy, and stigma, and QoL and LS. Linear and multiple regression analyses assessed influences on QoL and LS.

resultsStigma and low self-efficacy were associated with poor QoL and LS; low social connectedness, dexterity issues, anxiety and apathy were associated with poor LS. Higher symptom burden, particularly dexterity, tremor, bradykinesia, freezing, cognition, psychosis, apathy, daytime sleepiness and urinary problems were associated with low QoL, but less than stigma.

conclusionPolicies to improve QoL and LS should target stigma and low self-efficacy.
