Diadochokinetic movements differ between patients with Parkinson's disease and controls.
Article in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Instrumental motion assessment, i.e., peg insertion, gains importance as an addition to rating procedures to determine the efficacy of therapeutic interventions and to serve as diagnostic tool in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). One of their motor features is disturbed execution of alternating motions. The objectives of the study were to assess pronation and supination of the forearms and peg insertion with instruments and to correlate the outcomes with rating scores in PD patients. Controls and 27 idiopathic PD patients, taken off treatment for 12 h, were scored and performed on both devices. PD patients showed a reduced maximum velocity (v), performance interval and amplitude of diadochokinetic movements than controls. V outcomes showed closer associations to rated motor behavior, in particular akinesia and rigidity, and peg insertion results than amplitude, respectively periods of diadochokinetic motion sequences. This altered performance of diadochokinetic movements corresponds to the clinical motor symptoms of PD patients and differs from healthy controls.
