How Information Affects Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Scoping Review of the Literature.
Article in Journal of Parkinson's disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) need to receive adequate information to manage their disease. However, little is known about how information provision affects patients. Objective: To conduct a scoping review of the literature on the relationship between content, timing, manner of delivery, and source of PD-specific information on the one hand, and patient outcomes on the other. Methods: All literature reporting about original data and published until April 2024 in peer-reviewed journals was searched in MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid) and PsychInfo (Ovid). Subsequently, data were extracted and synthesized. Results: 40 publications describing the effects of information provision or patients' evaluation thereof were retrieved. Four categories of patient outcomes were described, namely 1) evaluation and experience of information provision; 2) physical functioning; 3) psychosocial well-being; and 4) quality of life. In intervention studies, patients generally valued the provided information. Findings from cross-sectional and qualitative studies showed the importance of tailoring information to individuals' needs and capabilities. Due to variation in study designs and outcomes, no unambiguous conclusions could be drawn regarding the relationship between information and outcomes. Conclusions: This scoping review identified how PD patients acquire information and revealed a lack of systematic research into the effect of information on patient outcomes. Future studies should assess 1) what information is currently provided by clinicians; 2) what additional information might be beneficial to provide; and 3) how information can be effectively aligned to benefit patients. This will eventually yield insight into how information might optimally empower PD patients.
