Dynamics of change in self-reported disability among persons with Parkinson's disease after 2 years of follow-up.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) progress over time causing significant disability. Yet, change in disability over shorter time periods has not been entirely understood. The purpose of this study was to assess the Self-Assessment Disability Scale (SADS) in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) after 2 years of follow-up and compare it with the score observed at baseline. Additionally, we aimed at evaluating association of motor and non-motor PD features at baseline with a higher disability after 2 years of follow-up. A total of 120 consecutive persons with PD, who denied falling in the past 6 months, were initially recruited. After 2 years of follow-up, 88 (73.3%) persons with PD were evaluated for SADS. The total disability (SADS) score did not change after follow-up (p = 0.529). We observed increase in difficulty at "Getting out of bed" (p = 0.006), "Getting up out of armchair" (p = 0.013), "Walking about house/flat" (p = 0.003), "Walking outside" (p = 0.010), and "Traveling by public transport" (p = 0.014). After adjusting for several potential confounding factors, falls in the past year (β = 8.32, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-15.59) and higher Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part 3 at baseline (β = 0.26, 95%CI 0.01-0.51) remained associated with higher PD-related disability. This finding suggests that accumulation of overall PD-related disability tends to occur over a longer time span. Further studies are needed to gradually assess long-term evolution of disability in PD.
