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

In a retrospective analysis, we recently reported findings on the detrimental motor effects of interrupted physiotherapy following the COVID-19 pandemic in parkinsonian patients. Using an extended follow-up period, we investigated the beneficial effect of reinstated physiotherapy on patients' disease severity and reversal of interruption-induced motor deterioration. Compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak, we observed persistence of motor disease worsening despite full resumption of state-of-the-art physical therapy suggesting that motor deterioration after discontinuation of physical therapy could not be compensated for. Therefore, and considering possible future crises, establishing means to safeguard continuation of physical therapy and to foster remote provision of care should be major goals.
