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

backgroundLong-term benefits of exercise for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) require regular and sustained participation. This study aimed to investigate predictors of adherence to a minimally supervised exercise program designed to reduce falls in people with PD.

methodPeople with idiopathic PD who participated in the exercise arm of a randomized, controlled trial were included. Exercises were prescribed three times per week for 6 months. Adherence was defined as the percentage of prescribed sessions participants reported as having undertaken. Potential predictors of adherence included baseline measures of demographic variables, disease severity and duration, falls and fear of falling, pain, self-reported health and quality of life, cognition, physical activity levels, freezing of gait, functional mobility and balance, and knee extensor strength.

resultsThe 108 participants included undertook a mean of 72% (standard deviation: 38%) of prescribed sessions. Participants had higher levels of adherence if they had shorter disease duration, less bodily pain, and better self-reported health and quality of life. A multivariate model (including disease duration, severity of bodily pain, self-reported physical well-being, the Frontal Assessment Battery, the Short Physical Performance Battery, and maximum walking time) explained 9% of the variance in exercise adherence, with shorter disease duration and less pain the strongest predictors (both predictors standardized β = -0.2;

conclusionDisease duration and pain are likely to negatively influence exercise participation in people with PD. Given that most of the variance in adherence is unexplained, further work is required to determine other predictors of adherence to long-term exercise programs.
