The Transition from Standing to Walking Is Affected in People with Parkinson's Disease and Freezing of Gait.
Article in Journal of Parkinson's disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundIt has been hypothesized that freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) is due to abnormal coupling between posture and gait.
objectiveIn this study, we examined the relationship between anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) preceding gait initiation and the kinematics of the first two steps between people with FOG and without FOG.
methodsThe kinetics and kinematics of self-initiated gait were recorded in 25 people with PD (11 with FOG, 14 without FOG). Outcome variables included the amplitude and timing of the ground reaction forces (GRFs), center of pressure (CoP) shifts and the spatial and temporal characteristics of the first and second steps.
resultsThe magnitude and timing of the APA phase of gait initiation were not significantly different between participants with and without FOG, yet the first step in the FOG group was distinguished by a significantly wider and less variable first step width, followed by a subsequent wider and shortened second step with reduced toe clearance. Multiple linear regression showed that the relationship between the initial conditions (stance width), APAs (posterior shift of the CoP) and the kinematics of the first step were different between groups with a significantly increased slope in the FOG group.
conclusionThese findings demonstrate that the transition from standing to walking is different between those with and without FOG and that alterations in the initial conditions or APAs are more likely to impact the execution of the two steps in people with FOG.
