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.
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
backgroundPrevious studies have suggested that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) may have a disease-modifying effect in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD), but population studies yielded inconsistent results.
objectiveThe aim was to compare the risk of PD associated with GLP-1RAs compared to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) among older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
methodsUsing U.S. Medicare administrative data from 2016 to 2020, we conducted a population-based cohort study comparing the new use of GLP-1RA with the new use of DPP4i among adults aged ≥66 years with T2D. The primary endpoint was a new diagnosis of PD. A stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (sIPTW)-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for PD between GLP-1RA and DPP4i users.
resultsThis study included 89,074 Medicare beneficiaries who initiated either GLP-1RA (n = 30,091) or DPP4i (n = 58,983). The crude incidence rate of PD was lower among GLP-1RA users than DPP4i users (2.85 vs. 3.92 patients per 1000 person-years). An sIPTW-adjusted Cox model showed that GLP-1RA users were associated with a 23% lower risk of PD than DPP4i users (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.63-0.95). Our findings were largely consistent across different subgroup analyses such as sex, race, and molecular structure of GLP-1RA.
conclusionAmong Medicare beneficiaries with T2D, the new use of GLP-1RAs was significantly associated with a decreased risk of PD compared to the new use of DPP4i. © 2024 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
