Motor and non-motor improvements following short-term multidisciplinary day-clinic care in Parkinson´s disease.
Article in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundInpatient as well as outpatient care does often not meet PD-patients' individual needs.
introductionDay-clinic concepts encompassing a multidisciplinary team as well as therapy adjustments accompanying everyday demands aim at filling this gap.
methodsThis is a retrospective study on short-term effects of a 3 week multidisciplinary rehabilitation program in patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD) embedded in a specialized movement disorder day-clinic. We analyzed short-term outcome of motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS) in 143 PD-patients (mean age 65.3 ± 11.9 years; Hoehn-and-Yahr-score 2.6 ± 0.7) after 3 weeks with 7.4 ± 1.8 active days of interdisciplinary day-care treatment. Participants attended the day-clinic in groups of five patients at a time. Improvements were evaluated by comparison of standardized physical therapy assessments, disease specific scores for motor symptoms (MDS-UPDRS III), mood (BDI), quality of life (PDQ39, SF36), sleep (PDSS, ESS), impulsiveness (QUIP), apathy (SAS), cognition (MMST), as well as change in medication before and directly after the intervention.
resultsMDS-UPDRS motor score improved significantly by 22.9 ± 21.5% (p < 0.001) and was accompanied by a significant reduction of imbalance, immobility, and weakness ranging between 6% and 17% in standardized physical therapy tests. In addition, all disease-specific non-motor scales improved significantly.
conclusionsA multidisciplinary day-clinic approach can support benefit on motor, non-motor symptoms and QoL in PD-patients. Given the increase in PD incidence and prevalence as well as the significant treatment effects shown here, more day-clinic treatment opportunities ought to be implemented to improve PD treatment adapted to everyday challenges while still reducing costs to the health care system.
