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

The role of physical activity in modifying Parkinson's disease progression is of interest. This longitudinal study followed 118 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease over 24 months to evaluate the impact of physical activity on disease progression. Participants were grouped based on physical activity levels sedentary, moderately active and highly active using standardized activity questionnaires. Disease severity was assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn and Yahr staging. Patients with higher physical activity levels showed slower motor and functional decline compared to sedentary individuals. Thus, we show that regular physical activity may positively influence the trajectory of Parkinson's disease.
