Article in Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06111924 (Effects of Telerehabilitation Versus Clinic-based Task-oriented Circuit Training on Upper Extremity Functions and Quality of Life in Parkinson's Patient.), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

backgroundThere has been little examination of force production of the upper limb in people with Parkinson's disease (PD), despite its impact on activities of daily living and clear evidence that force production is significantly reduced in lower limb muscle groups. The aim of this study was to determine the force production of the major muscle groups of the upper limb in people with PD during the "on" phase after medication, compared with aged-matched neurologically-normal controls.

methodA cross-sectional study was carried out.

participantsThirty people with mild PD (Hoehn Yahr mean 1.1) and 24 age-matched neurologically-normal controls. OUTCOME MEASURES: Maximum isometric force production of the shoulder flexors, extensors, abductors, adductors, internal rotators and external rotators, elbow flexors and extensors, wrist flexors and extensors and hand grip using dynamometry.

resultsThere was a significant impairment in force production in all upper limb muscle groups, compared with control participants, except in the wrist flexors. On average the deficit in force production was 22%, despite people with PD having mild disease, being physically active and being measured during the "on" phase of medication. The most severely affected muscle groups were the upper limb extensors.

conclusionPeople with PD have a significant deficit in force production of the upper limb muscle groups compared with age-matched neurologically normal controls. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Regular assessment of strength of the upper limb should be considered by clinicians and strengthening interventions could be implemented if a deficit is identified.
