1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To investigate the effect of multi-disciplinary teamwork on balance performance of Parkinson's disease (PD).Sixteen primary Parkinson's disease patients (8 male, 8 female) treated with bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) were included in the study. The median age of patients was 60.5 years; all patients were in the Hoehn&Yahr (H&Y) 3 stage; the median PD duration of the disease was 9 years. For each patient, multi-disciplinary teamwork treatment including DBS, medication, physical therapy and psychotherapy proceeded. levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD, mg/day), life quality (PDQ-39), Motor disability (MDS-UPDRSIII) and balance performance (MDS-UPDRS 3.12, Berg Balance Scale BBS, Limits of Stability LoS) were assessed in different time and status respectively: preoperation (Med-off, Med-on), postoperation (Stim-Off/Med-Off, Stim-On/Med-Off, Stim-On/Med-On), 6 months postoperation (Stim-On/ Med-Off, Stim-On/Med-On) and 12 months postoperation (Stim-On/Med-Off, Stim-On/Med-On).The LEDD, life quality (PDQ-39) continued to improve during the follow-up, statistical difference were found in both 6 months postoperation and 12 months postoperation compared with preoperation. The Motor disability (MDS-UPDRSIII), balance performance (MDS-UPDRS 3.12, BBS) and the LoS (target acquisition percentage, trunk swing angle standard deviation, time) showed significant improvement in Stim-On/med-Off 6 months postoperation and 12 months postoperation separately compared with Med-Off preoperation.Multi-disciplinary teamwork for PD patients with STN-DBS could improve balance performance.
