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

Taniguchi S, Yamamoto A. Measurement instruments to assess basic functional mobility in Parkinson's Disease: A systematic review of clinimetric properties and feasibility for use in clinical practice. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2023; 14: 16-25. Objective: To systematically review the evaluation of clinimetric properties and feasibility of the "Modified Parkinson Activity Scale (M-PAS)" and the "Lindop Parkinson's Disease Mobility Assessment (LPA)," which are Parkinson's Disease (PD)-specific measurement instruments to assess basic functional mobility, and to discuss their considerations for use in clinical practice. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A risk of bias assessment was also performed. Results: Eleven studies were included: five studies used M-PAS (45%), five studies used LPA (45%), and one study used M-PAS and LPA (13%). The risk of bias was low for all evaluated studies. Conclusion: M-PAS and LPA showed adequate reliability, validity, and responsiveness in detecting intervention changes. M-PAS has more detailed qualitative scoring options, a lack of ceiling effect, and can be used by a non-expert in PD.In contrast, the drawback of M-PAS is that it is time-consuming to apply in everyday clinical practice. On the other hand, LPA with greater simplicity may lead to lower burdens for both patients and raters in situations with strict time limitations. Further research is required to identify new resources.
