Non-Invasive Neuromodulation in the Rehabilitation of Pisa Syndrome in Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Pisa syndrome (PS) is a frequent postural complication of Parkinson's disease (PD). PS poorly responds to anti-parkinsonian drugs and the improvement achieved with neurorehabilitation tends to fade in 6 months or less. Transcranial direct current stimulation (t-DCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that showed promising results in improving specific symptoms in different movement disorders. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of bi-hemispheric t-DCS as an add-on to a standardized hospital rehabilitation program in the management of PS in PD. Methods: This study included 28 patients with PD and PS (21 men, aged 72.9 ± 5.1 years) who underwent a 4-week intensive neurorehabilitation treatment and were randomized to receive: i) t-DCS (t-DCS group, Results: When compared to the sham group, the t-DCS group achieved a more pronounced improvement in several variables: overall posture ( Conclusions: Our data support the use of neuromodulation with t-DCS as an add-on to neurorehabilitation for the treatment of patients affected by PS in PD.
