Effects of cognitive rehabilitation in Parkinson disease: a meta-analysis.

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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesCognitive symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and affect patients' quality of life. Pharmacological interventions often do not improve such deficits that might benefit of cognitive rehabilitation. However, previous meta-analysis on this topic reported inconsistent results. Clarifying the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation would be pivotal to optimize treatment and reduce care's costs. This meta-analysis aims at determining whether current literature lays in favor of the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in PD and at understanding whether its effect might change depending on the trained cognitive domain.
methodsWe searched online databases for studies concerning cognitive rehabilitation in PD. Fourteen studies encompassing 767 participants were included. Analyses were conducted for each cognitive domain separately, examining several neuropsychological measures for each function.
resultsWe found that rehabilitation improves global cognition, executive functions, and long- and short-term memory.
conclusionThe current body of research indicates that cognitive rehabilitation improves specific cognitive deficits in PD and that it should be tailored on patients' specific impairments. These interventions should be employed considering that not all the cognitive domains might benefit of a cognitive training. Finally, the high heterogeneity among studies suggests the need for more controlled clinical trials.
