Effects of different exercises on motor and non-motor abilities in patients with Parkinson disease-a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

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
Objective: To systematically investigate and evaluate the effects of different exercise (TT: treadmill training; ST: sensorimotor training; NW: Nordic walking; CT: cycling training; WT: walking training; DT: dance training; VRT: VR training; RT: resistance training; AQT: aquatic training; BOX: boxing training; Qigong and Yoga) modalities on both motor and non-motor abilities in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning the impact of various exercise modes on motor and non-motor abilities in Parkinson's patients were identified by searching the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, CINAHL and CNKI databases. The search period spanned from the inception of each database to December 2025. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Results: A total of 67 RCTs involving 2642 patients were included. Network meta-analysis results indicated that WT most effectively improved UPDRS-III (SUCRA=92.5%); DT was most effective in improving TUG (SUCRA=89.9%) and 6MWT (SUCRA=73.3%); NW best improved BBS (SUCRA=91.1%) and MoCA (SUCRA=91.1%). AQT best improved PDQ-39 (SUCRA=88.5%). Conclusion: Current evidence suggests that exercise involving walking and dance, which stimulates neural regulation, can help improve motor function and cognitive abilities in people with Parkinson's disease. Patients can choose exercises based on their current fitness level. Systematic review registration: https://osf.io/7x5kc/.
