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

Background: Depression is a prevalent non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD), yet its pathogenesis is unclear and biomarkers are lacking. This rs-fMRI study used Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) to explore neural correlates in PD with depression (DPD). Methods: We included 23 DPD, 24 non-depressed PD (NDPD), and 20 healthy controls (HC). ReHo analysis was applied to identify regional brain activity differences. Correlations between ReHo values and depression severity (HAMD scores) were examined. ROC analysis assessed the diagnostic utility of ReHo changes. Results: Compared to NDPD, DPD showed increased ReHo in the left inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) and decreased ReHo in the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG), left insula, and left hippocampus. ReHo in left ITG positively correlated with HAMD scores ( Conclusion: DPD is associated with distinct ReHo alterations. Abnormalities in the left ITG, right MFG, left insula, and left hippocampus may reflect the neural basis of DPD. Our exploratory analyses suggest that altered ReHo in the left insula and left hippocampus may hold potential as neuroimaging biomarkers.
