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

objectiveThe associations of Lewy bodies (LBs) with olfactory dysfunction, parkinsonism, and higher odds of dementia were assessed in Black and White community-dwelling elders and racial differences in these associations were tested.

methodsBlack decedents (n = 81) were matched 2-to-1 by age, sex, years of education, and follow-up time in the study with White decedents (n = 154) from 4 longitudinal studies of dementia and aging. Participants underwent uniform clinical examination and cognitive, motor, and olfactory testing. LBs were detected in 7 brain regions by α-synuclein immunohistochemistry and racial differences in their association with olfaction, parkinsonism, and odds of dementia were determined using regression analyses.

resultsThe mean scores of the odor test, global parkinsonism signs, and global cognition were lower in Black than White decedents; the frequency of dementia was similar in both groups. The frequency of LBs was similar in Black and White decedents (∼25%), as was the frequency of LBs in individual brain regions, while the mean LB counts/mm

conclusionsThe frequency, distribution, and clinical manifestations of LBs are similar in Black and White elders.
