Effect of spinal kypho-orthosis to gait and forward flexion in Parkinson disease.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
[Purpose] The gait characteristics, such as short step, decreased arm swing and stooped posture, in Parkinson disease (PD) are well established. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments have been attempted to improve the gait in patients with PD. Among the non-pharmacological approaches to improve gait, spinal orthosis can be applied for patients with spinal deformity. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of spinal kypho-orthosis to gait in PD by using a three-dimensional analysis. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-six patients with PD with gait disturbance with forward bend posture >15°. All participants were instructed to walk along a 6-m track and turn 180° and come back to the starting point under three-dimensional motion capture. The participants performed the test again with spinal kypho-orthosis. Gait parameters during examination is compared with and without spinal kypho-orthosis. The degree of forward flexion after kypho-orthosis in patients with PD was compared. [Results] Wearing the spinal kypho-orthosis significantly improved turning performance but did not affect locomotion. The severity of forward bend posture is mildly improved after the application of spinal kypho-orthosis. [Conclusion] Spinal kypho-orthosis has a short-term effect for gait performance, particularly during turning and erect posture. Spinal kypho-orthosis can be potentially used for management of turning deficits in PD.
