Assessment of Axial Postural Abnormalities in Parkinsonism: Automatic Picture Analysis Software.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06963918 (Effect of Expiratory Muscle Strength Training on Forward Trunk Flexion in Parkinson's Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
Background: Software-based measurements of axial postural abnormalities in Parkinson's disease (PD) are the gold standard but may be time-consuming and not always feasible in clinical practice. An automatic and reliable software to accurately obtain real-time spine flexion angles according to the recently proposed consensus-based criteria would be a useful tool for both research and clinical practice. Objective: We aimed to develop and validate a new software based on Deep Neural Networks to perform automatic measures of PD axial postural abnormalities. Methods: A total of 76 pictures from 55 PD patients with different degrees of anterior and lateral trunk flexion were used for the development and pilot validation of a new software called AutoPosturePD (APP); postural abnormalities were measured in lateral and posterior view using the freeware NeuroPostureApp (gold standard) and compared with the automatic measurement provided by the APP. Sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of camptocormia and Pisa syndrome were assessed. Results: We found an excellent agreement between the new APP and the gold standard for lateral trunk flexion (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] 0.960, IC95% 0.913-0.982, Conclusions: AutoPosturePD is a valid tool for spine flexion measurement in PD, accurately supporting the diagnosis of Pisa syndrome and camptocormia.
