Predictors of freezing of gait in Chinese patients with Parkinson's disease.

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 explore the clinical predictors of freezing of gait (FOG) in Chinese patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: This study included 225 patients with PD who completed a three-year follow-up visit. The end-point was the presence of FOG (freezers), which was assessed during the follow-up visit. Group comparisons were conducted, followed by a further forward binary logistic regression analysis. Results: Eighty-five patients with PD (38%) had developed FOG at the end of study. At baseline, freezers exhibited higher age, longer disease duration, higher scores in Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) III and Hamilton Depression/Anxiety Rating Scale, lower Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) score, higher subscores (e.g., "urgency") and frequencies (e.g., "hallucinations") in Non-Motor Symptoms Scale, higher annual changes in MoCA, UPDRS III and FAB scores, and higher incidences of festination and falls than nonfreezers ( Conclusions: Patients with onset in the lower limbs and the presence of festination, falls, and hallucinations may be prone to develop FOG episodes. FOG also likely occurs with the deterioration of PD severity and visuospatial function.
