The effect of comprehensive physiotherapy-based rehabilitation on stooped posture in Parkinson's 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 4 papers.
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 effect of physiotherapy on stooped posture in Parkinson's disease patients remains to be clarified. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether comprehensive physiotherapy-based rehabilitation can improve stooped posture in Parkinson's disease patients. [Participants and Methods] The participants were Parkinson's disease patients with stooped posture. Outpatients were assigned to the control group and inpatients to the postural rehabilitation group. The outcomes measured were trunk bending angle, lumbar lordosis, and thoracic kyphosis. Each group was assessed at baseline and 1 month later. [Results] Of 22 participants identified, 20 were included, with 10 participants in the postural rehabilitation group and 10 in the control group. The age in the postural rehabilitation group was significantly greater than that in the control group, while other parameters were comparable in both groups. After the month-long intervention, the trunk bending angle and lumbar lordosis were significantly improved in the postural rehabilitation group compared to the control group. [Conclusion] The results showed improvement in stooped posture in the postural rehabilitation group as compared to the control group. Furthermore, improvement of lumbar lordosis accompanied improvement of stooped posture. These findings suggest that comprehensive physiotherapy-based rehabilitation may improve stooped posture in Parkinson's disease patients.
