Dermatological Manifestations and Sebum Composition in Parkinson's Disease.
Review in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionParkinson disease (PD) is a multifaceted neurodegenerative disorder known for its hallmark motor symptoms. However, nonmotor manifestations, specifically dermatological changes, precede motor symptoms and may thus serve as vital early indicators of PD.
objectivesThis article explores the skin-related changes associated with PD, focusing on alterations in sebum composition, microbial dysbiosis, and the potential for leveraging dermatological assessments as early, noninvasive diagnostic markers for PD.
methodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted to investigate dermatological manifestations of PD, focusing on sebum changes in affected individuals. Research explored the clinical relevance of altered lipid profiles, volatile organic compound (VOC) contributions, and microbiome dysbiosis in those with PD.
resultsIndividuals with PD exhibit excess sebum production characterized by altered lipid profiles, including elevated short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and disruptions in sphingolipid metabolism. The lipid-rich environment also promotes overgrowth of Malessezia yeast, contributing to varied dermatological symptoms in those with PD. VOCs identified in sebum have been linked to unique odors and serve as biomarkers for diagnostic potential. These findings support the potential for early PD diagnosis through dermatologic assessment and sebum analysis.
conclusionDermatological manifestations in PD offer promising noninvasive biomarkers for early diagnosis. Future research should aim to further elucidate the mechanisms underlying sebum dysregulation in PD and validate the clinical relevance of these biomarkers in larger populations.
