The effect of a nurse-led intervention on number of falls and acceptance of disability in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Trial report in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 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
backgroundFalling is one of the possible complications of Parkinson's disease (PD). Also, Parkinson's patients become disabled due to the gradual progression of the disease; however, acceptance of the disability (AOD) can help in managing the illness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a nurse-led intervention on the prevention of falls and AOD in patients with PD.
methodsIn this study 240 patients over 60 years of age were selected from specialized clinics and randomly divided into 2 experimental and control groups. Both groups received their usual care; however, the experimental group also received a separate nurse-led intervention twice a month for 6 months. The number of falls and the AOD were measured (using a modified Chinese version of the AOD scale).
resultsDuring the 6‑month follow-up, falls in the control group were more than the experimental group (165 vs. 92 falls). The AOD of the experimental group had increased significantly in the postintervention period and the 6‑month follow-up compared to the preintervention (from 60.4 ± 19.25 preintervention to 65.125 ± 18.52 postintervention and 65.433 ± 18.30 in follow-up, p < 0.05). Also, the AOD of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group in the two time periods of postintervention and follow-up (postintervention: 65.125 ± 18.52 in experimental group and 58.78 ± 19.32 in control group; follow up: 65.433 ± 18.30 in experimental group and 57.52 ± 18.97 in control group, p < 0.05).
conclusionThe nurse-led intervention can be an effective noninvasive method to reduce the number of falls and increase the AOD in patients with PD.
