Positron Emission Tomography Imaging in Clinical Trials for Parkinson's Disease: Applications of Metabolic Brain Network Approach.
Review in Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Neuroimaging with positron emission tomography (PET) has been instrumental in elucidating neurobiological mechanisms behind therapeutical trials in Parkinson's disease (PD). A variety of medical and neurosurgical interventions have been evaluated using many radioligands that reveal molecular basis for target engagement and brain responses in relation to clinical outcome measures. This review article describes major applications of metabolic brain network analysis in therapeutical studies in non-demented PD to restore functional abnormality by drug therapy, ablative lesioning, deep brain stimulation, gene therapy, and cell transplantation alongside placebo effects. The findings with brain network biomarkers using multivariate analysis are supported by regionally specific metabolic changes and clinical correlations detected by complementary univariate analysis. The review demonstrates a powerful methodology of combining multimodal neuroimaging data and network modeling approaches followed by some perspectives on future directions in this specialty area of translational research. Different neuroimaging biomarkers have been compared in light of recent advances in biofluid biomarkers. These efforts not only bring more precise understanding on mechanisms of action associated with different therapies, but also provide a road map for conducting successful clinical trials of emerging disease-modifying therapies in PD and related disorders. © 2025 The Author(s).
