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

purposeThe aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of and factors related to orthostatic syndromes in recently diagnosed drug-naïve patients with Parkinson disease (PD).

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study that included 217 drug-naïve patients with PD and 108 sex- and age-matched non-parkinsonian controls from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) prospective cohort study who were devoid of diabetes, alcoholism, polyneuropathy, amyloidosis, and hypotension-inducing drugs. Orthostatic symptoms were evaluated using the Scales for Outcomes in PD-Autonomic Dysfunction (SCOPA-AUT). Ioflupane-I

resultsCompared with non-parkinsonian controls, patients with PD experienced a mild fall in systolic blood pressure upon standing (p = 0.082). The prevalence of OH was 11.1% in PD patients and 5.6% in controls (p = 0.109). The prevalence of OI was higher in patients with PD than in controls (31.3 vs. 13.3%; p = 0.003). Logistic regression revealed that OH and OI were related to a lower striatal DaT level and higher SCOPA-AUT gastrointestinal score.

conclusionsOrthostatic syndromes were common in the recently diagnosed drug-naïve patients with PD enrolled in the study, but only the prevalence of OI was higher in PD patients than in the non-parkinsonian controls. Unlike motor or functional disability indicators, markers of dopaminergic striatal deficit and gastrointestinal dysfunction were associated with OH and OI.
