Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Despite being the second-most common neurodegenerative disease, the etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains uncertain with current knowledge suggestive of multiple risk factors. Furthermore, curative treatment does not yet exist, and treatment is primarily symptomatic in nature. For this reason, supportive therapies such as exercise are a crucial tool in PD management. It is useful to better understand how exercise affects the brain and body in the context of PD to guide clinical decision-making and determine the optimal exercise intensity and modality for PD patients. This review outlines the various mechanisms by which exercise can be beneficial as a therapeutic option in PD.
