Physiotherapy Approach to a Stage V Parkinson's Disease Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused due to decreased dopamine, a neurotransmitter, advancing to a range of motor and non-motor attributes. There is a death of dopamine-producing neurons (dopaminergic neurons) in the Substantia Nigra. Bradykinesia, postural instability, resting tremor, and rigidity are four main symptoms in this patient. A variety of other symptoms, like hypomimia, micrographia, freezing gait, decreased movement amplitude, constipation, cognitive impairments, etc., can be seen in this patient. In this paper, we report a 62-year-old female with stage 5 PD with chief complaints of uncoordinated movements, weakness, and difficulty in daily activities. She was treated with strengthening, stretching, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) BIG, bed mobility, gait training with auditory cueing, balance training, etc. LSVT-BIG enhances motor function by incorporating high amplitude motions of high intensity, consisting of numerous repetitions and progressive complexity. At the end of three weeks, the patient had improved strength, static and dynamic balance, gait, and quality of life.
