Improved Mobility, Cognition, and Disease Severity in Corticobasal Degeneration of an African American Man After 12 Weeks of Adapted Tango: A Case Study.
Article in American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) has no available treatment to slow disease progression and generally resists drug therapy. Corticobasal degeneration has symptoms and decreased quality of life similar to Parkinson disease. Adapted Tango, a successful rehabilitation for Parkinson, may address CBD. A 63-yr-old African American man with CBD (alias: YD; CBD duration = 2 yrs) was evaluated for motor, cognitive, and psychosocial function before, immediately after, 1 mo after, and 6 mos after 12 wks of 20, biweekly 90-min adapted-tango lessons. After intervention, disease-related motor symptoms improved and YD reported fewer problems in nonmotor experiences of daily living, which include mood, cognition, pain, fatigue, etc. Motor symptoms remained above baseline at 6-mo posttest. YD's balance confidence improved after intervention but declined below baseline at 6-mo posttest. Quality of life was maintained despite worsened depression. YD improved or maintained executive function, and visuospatial function and attention at posttest and 1-mo posttest. At posttest, YD maintained mobility and improved on dynamic balance. At 1-mo posttest, most mobility measures had improved relative to baseline. However, YD showed executive function and overall motor decline 6 mos after intervention. Adapted tango may have temporarily slowed disease progression and improved or maintained mobility and cognition. Gains were poorly maintained after 6 mos. Further study is warranted.
