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

backgroundHomozygous and compound heterozygous variants in glucocerebrosidase (GBA) can cause Gaucher disease (GD), whereas heterozygous variants increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). GD patients display altered peripheral immune proteins. However, it is unknown if these are altered in GBA carriers with PD.

objectivesTo determine whether plasma cytokines and immune biomarkers associated with GD are also altered in GBA carriers with or without PD.

methodsInflammatory cytokines and established GD biomarkers, ferritin, CD162, CCL18, and chitotriosidase (28 biomarkers) were measured in GBA pathogenic variant carriers with (n = 135) and without (n = 83) PD, and non-carriers with (n = 75) and without PD (n = 77).

resultsPD patients with biallelic pathogenic variants in GBA had elevated plasma levels of ferritin, CCL18, and MIP1α. These biomarkers were not elevated in heterozygous GBA carriers.

conclusionGD plasma biomarkers are not promising candidates for stratifying the risk for PD in carriers of heterozygous GBA pathogenic variants. © 2021 The Authors. Movement Disorders published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
