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

objectivesTo investigate if there is evidence on effectiveness of progressive resistance training in rehabilitation of Parkinson disease.

designSystematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: Central, Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Web of Science, Pedro until May 2014. Randomised controlled or controlled clinical trials. The methodological quality of studies was assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration's domain-based evaluation framework. DATA SYNTHESIS: random effects meta-analysis with test for heterogeneity using the I² and pooled estimate as the raw mean difference.

participantsAdults with primary/idiopathic Parkinson's disease of any severity, excluding other concurrent neurological condition.

interventionsProgressive resistance training defined as training consisting of a small number of repetitions until fatigue, allowing sufficient rest between exercises for recovery, and increasing the resistance as the ability to generate force improves. COMPARISON: Progressive resistance training versus no treatment, placebo or other treatment in randomised controlled or controlled clinical trials. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Any outcome.

resultsOf 516 records, 12 were considered relevant. Nine of them had low risk of bias. All studies were randomised controlled trials conducted on small samples with none or 1 month follow-up after the end of intervention. Of them, six were included in quantitative analysis. Pooled effect sizes of meta-analyses on fast and comfortable walking speed, the 6 min walking test, Timed Up and Go test and maximal oxygen consumption were below the level of minimal clinical significance.

conclusionsThere is so far no evidence on the superiority of progressive resistance training compared with other physical training to support the use of this technique in rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO 2014:CRD42014009844.
