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
Introduction: Although retropulsion is a serious complication of Parkinson's disease (PD), it is unknown whether ankle joint movement patterns can be targeted to treat retropulsion. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise focused on instructions regarding ankle joint movement on retropulsion in PD. Methods: Twenty patients with moderate PD were randomly allocated to the experimental intervention (INSTR) or control groups. The INSTR group received a 2-week therapeutic exercise program (40 min/day, five times/week) that involved repeated backward pulls on the shoulders with instructions to land on the toes as a response, and the control group received the same intervention without the instructions. The primary outcome was the difference in changes from baseline in the Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS part III) score between the study groups at weeks 1 and 2. Results: The improvement in the MDS-UPDRS part III scores was significantly greater for the INSTR group in the week 1 (p = 0.033, Conclusion: The 2-week therapeutic exercise program with instructions to treat retropulsion improved the backward response.
