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

The association between insulin resistance and increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) has rarely been investigated. Our study aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) ratio (which represents insulin resistance), and the incidence risk of PD in the general population. This study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort Database of South Korea (2002-2019). We enrolled 310,023 participants who had no previous PD history and who had undergone more than three repeated measurements for the TG/HDL cholesterol ratio. The diagnosis of PD was determined using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision code G20, specific reimbursement codes for Rare Intractable Diseases of V124, and a history of anti-PD drug prescription. During a median of 9.64 years (interquartile range 8.72-10.53), 4,587 individuals (1.47%) had an incidence of PD. Considering the multivariable time-dependent Cox proportional hazard model with repeated measures of average TG/HDL cholesterol ratio, a per unit increase in TG/HDL cholesterol ratio significantly increased the risk of PD in the entire cohort (hazard ratio (HR), 1.010; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.001-1.020). These repeated measures of the average TG/HDL cholesterol ratio were associated with the incidence risk of PD in a J-shaped pattern for the entire diabetes mellitus (DM) and non-DM cohorts in restricted cubic spline analysis. Compared to the lowest tertiles (T1), the highest tertiles (T3) were positively associated with the incidence risk of PD (HR: 1.149, 95% CI 1.065-1.239 in the entire cohort, p for trend < 0.001; HR: 1.175, 95% CI 1.075-1.285 in the non-DM cohort, p for trend < 0.001). In contrast, the lowest (T1) and highest tertiles (T3) were not associated with the incidence risk of PD in the DM cohort (HR: 1.128, 95% CI 0.909-1.348) in fully adjusted multivariable analysis. Our study provides information that TG/HDL ratio may be positively associated with PD incidence risk in a non-DM population in longitudinal setting of the general population.
