Effects of rhythmic auditory cueing on stepping in place in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Trial report in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundStepping in place (SIP) is a useful locomotor training intervention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of single auditory-cued SIP training on cortical excitability, rhythmic movements and walking ability in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).
methodsCross-over randomized control trial. Each participant completed two interventions with at least one-week washout period in between: (1) SIP with concurrent auditory cues (AC condition) and (2) SIP without auditory cues (NC condition).
resultsIn the primary outcome, the cortical silent period (CSP) duration increased (P = .005), whereas short intracortical inhibition (SICI) decreased after training (P = .001). Freezers demonstrated enhanced inhibition in the resting motor threshold and CSP duration. SICI and intracortical facilitation were modulated in both groups under the AC condition. In the secondary outcomes, the stepping variability decreased significantly (AC: P = .033; NC: P = .009), whereas walking cadence increased after training (AC: P = .019; NC: P = .0023).
conclusionsAuditory-cued SIP training improved the lower-limb movement variability and modulated the cortical excitability in patients with PD. Freezers may benefit more from this training than nonfreezers.
