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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is marked by progressive neurodegeneration in the substantia nigra (SN). This study evaluated deep-learning saturation-transfer magnetic resonance fingerprinting (ST-MRF) to quantify molecular and microstructural changes in PD. We examined 23 patients with PD (PwPD) and 22 matched healthy controls (HCs) using multimodal imaging, including ST-MRF. ST-MRF detected significant molecular and microstructural alterations in the SN of PwPD compared to HCs, including increases in magnetization transfer ratio at 3.5 ppm (MTR(3.5ppm, 1.5 µT); 0.612 ± 0.022 vs. 0.597 ± 0.021, p = 0.014), MTR(-3.5ppm, 1.5 µT); 0.614 ± 0.021 vs. 0.586 ± 0.019, p = 0.008)), and decreases in T
