Effects of a Group Protocol on Physical Activity and Associated Changes in Mood and Health Locus of Control in Adults with Parkinson Disease and Reduced Mobility.
Trial report in The Permanente journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundParkinson disease (PD) is a degenerative nervous disorder that affects motor functioning. Although physical activity is beneficial, it often is reduced, and psychosocial issues persist such as low mood and perceptions of loss of control over health.
objectiveTo determine the extent to which a community-based physical activity/self-regulatory skills intervention affects overall physical activity and changes in psychosocial factors in adults with PD and in adults with reduced mobility without PD.
methodsExisting participants (N = 45, mean age = 71 years) of community-based PD group movement classes, who also participated in an individualized 6-session protocol for exercise support that emphasized self-regulation through barriers, completed validated self-report surveys. Participants' mean length of movement class participation was 11.8 months at the time of survey administration.
resultsMixed-model repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated significant improvements in physical activity, self-regulation, exercise self-efficacy, negative mood, and task social cohesion but not internal health locus of control. Improvement in social cohesion was significantly greater in the PD group (n = 27) than in the non-PD (n = 18) group. Changes in exercise self-efficacy mediated a significant relationship between changes in self-regulation and physical activity. Changes in social cohesion mediated a significant relationship between changes in physical activity and mood. Changes in mood and social cohesion had a reciprocal, mutually reinforcing relationship. For the PD group, length of program involvement predicted vigor change (r = 0.52, p = 0.006).
conclusionThe intervention demonstrated positive effects on physical activity and psychosocial factors in adults with PD and with reduced mobility. Effects on social cohesion were important. Such programming should be considered as an adjunct to traditional medical treatment.
