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.

2 · The registry

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

Freezing of gait (FoG) is one of the most widely distributed and disabling gait phenomena in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The current therapeutic interventions show suboptimal efficacy in FoG. Lower extremity proprioception impairments, especially in the most affected leg, gait initiation hesitation, and gait asymmetry are FoG factors, and there is a need to accurately consider them in terms of therapeutic approaches. Accordingly, we hypothesize that using a single-textured insole for the less affected leg may improve FoG by providing proprioceptive stimulation that enhances sensory processing and reduces gait hesitation and asymmetry. Proprioceptive sensory stimulation for the less affected limb could be more effective than for the double legs that are currently used in rehabilitation settings due to the sensory processing in the less affected basal ganglia being better.
