Group therapeutic singing improves clinical motor scores in persons with Parkinson's disease.
Article in BMJ neurology open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Previous reports suggest that group therapeutic singing (GTS) may have a positive effect on motor symptoms in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective: To determine the effect of a single session of GTS on clinical motor symptoms. Methods: Clinical motor symptom assessment was completed immediately before and after 1 hour of GTS in 18 participants. Results: A significant decrease in average scores for gait and posture and tremor, but not speech and facial expression or bradykinesia was revealed. Conclusion: These results support the notion that GTS is a beneficial adjuvant therapy for persons with PD that warrants further research.
