Machine learning-guided analysis of metabolomic alterations in Parkinson's disease with comorbid symptoms.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: As a common neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease (PD) primarily affects dopaminergic neurons, leading to progressive motor disabilities along with a spectrum of non-motor complications. The early identification of Parkinson's disease, as well as the exploration of biomarkers related to its associated comorbidities, remains an important focus of current research. Methods: In this study, a metabolomics approach combined with machine learning techniques was applied to explore potential biomarkers for PD and its related comorbid conditions. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), blood plasma samples were analyzed from individuals with PD, PD with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (PD+RBD), PD with insomnia (PD + insomnia), and healthy controls, resulting in the detection of 2,601 metabolites. Multivariate statistical methods-including the unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) and the supervised techniques of partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA)-were employed to investigate intergroup metabolic variations. Machine learning algorithms, such as recursive feature elimination in conjunction with logistic regression, random forest, and support vector machines, were used to assist in selecting discriminative metabolites and constructing classification models. Results: These models showed strong internal performance in distinguishing PD from healthy individuals and in characterizing PD patients with non-motor comorbidities such as RBD and insomnia. Overall, the results suggest that metabolic biomarkers may provide valuable insights into disease-related and symptom-associated metabolic alterations in Parkinson's disease. Discussion: This study provides a basis for future investigations aimed at validating these findings and further exploring their potential relevance in clinical research.
