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

objectiveWe examined whether mean magnetic susceptibility values from deep gray matter structures in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) differed from those in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy volunteers, and correlated with the PSP rating scale.

methodsHead of caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra and red nucleus were the regions of interest. Mean susceptibility values from these regions in PSP patients were estimated using quantitative susceptibility mapping. Correlations with clinical severity of disease as measured by the PSP rating scale were examined. The mean susceptibility values were also compared with those from healthy volunteers and age- and disease duration-matched patients with PD.

resultsData from 26 healthy volunteers, 26 patients with PD and 27 patients with PSP, were analysed. Patients with PSP had higher mean susceptibility values from all regions of interest when compared to both the other groups. The PSP rating scale scores correlated strongly with mean susceptibility values from the red nucleus and moderately with those from the putamen and substantia nigra. The scores did not correlate with mean susceptibility values from the caudate nucleus or globus pallidus. In patients with PD, the motor deficits correlated moderately with mean susceptibility values from substantia nigra.

conclusionsIn patients with PSP, mean susceptibility values indicating the severity of mineralization of basal ganglia and related structures correlate with disease severity, the correlation of red nucleus being the strongest. Further studies are warranted to explore whether mean susceptibility values could serve as biomarkers for PSP.
