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 defined by progressive worsening of gait, posture, and balance, as well as disability in daily life activities, and improvement in chronic musculoskeletal pain, particularly neck pain associated with worsening of balance. The study's goal is to look into the relationship between scoliosis, balance, and cervical pain in Parkinson's disease patients. Cross-sectional, pilot study. The study included 16 Parkinson's patients. Neck cervical pain was measured using the pain visual analogue scale and the short form McGill pain questionnaire, while dynamic balance was assessed using static balance, Tinetti, Berg Balance, and the Short Physical Performance Battery scales (SPPB). Cobb angles are measured on a whole-spine standard X-ray to assess spinal scoliosis.An observational statistical analysis was performed with patients subdivided into two groups: non-scoliosis (NS) and true scoliosis (TS) based on whether they presented a Cobb's angle below or ≥10°. Neck pain was reported by 37% (n=3) of participants in the NS group versus 50% (n=4) in the TS group. Neck pain was more prevalent in patients with a disease duration of less than 48 months (n=6; 75.0% vs n=1; 12.5%; p-value < 0.05). Scoliosis, cervical pain, and postural imbalance are all significant but often overlooked Parkinson's disease complaints.
