Effectiveness of Therapies Based on Mirror Neuron System to Treat Gait in Patients with Parkinson's Disease-A Systematic Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that alters gait patterns from early stages. The visuo-motor training strategies such as action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) that are based on the activity of the mirror neuron system (MNS) facilitate motor re-learning. The main purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the current scientific evidence about the effectiveness of MNS's treatments (AO and MI) to treat gait in patients with PD. Searches were completed from the databases PubMed, Web of Science, and PEDro between November and December 2021. The following keywords were used: "Parkinson disease", "mirror neurons", "gait", "action observation", and "motor imagery". Randomized control trials of the last 5 years written in English or Spanish were included. Two independent reviewers screened the articles and applied the eligibility criteria, and a third reviewer assisted in this process. A total of six articles were included for final revision. The risk of bias was assessed with the PEDro Scale. The effects of AO and MI using different outcome measures were referenced in terms of disease severity, quality of life, balance, and gait. Training with AO and MI are effective in improving disease severity, quality of life, balance, and gait in patients with PD.
