Effects of auditory or visual stimuli on gait in Parkinsonic patients: a systematic review.
Review in Porto biomedical journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07434089 (Gut-Brain Axis and Rehabilitation), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
backgroundExternal stimuli can improve gait performance in Parkinsons Disease (PD): auditory stimuli can increase velocity and visual stimuli may act at step length.
objectiveTo systematize the scientific evidence about the effects of auditory or visual stimuli on gait in patients with PD.
methodsFrom January 2016 to December 2018, a systematic literature research was conducted in the PubMed/Medline and Web of Science databases. Study designs considered were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies, which evaluated the effects of auditory or visual stimuli on gait in PD. The methodological quality was assessed by the Critical Appraisal Skills Program.
resultsFive articles were included with 232 participants and a methodological rank of mean of 10.3 on the cohort studies (n = 3), 8 on the case control studies (n = 1), and 6 on the RCTs (n = 1). Although 3 evaluated the effects of auditory stimuli on gait in PD, 2 analyzed those of visual stimuli. Based on these, it was verified a significant improvement of diverse gait parameters.
conclusionThe application of auditory or visual stimuli have beneficial effects on gait parameters. Further investigation is required.
