Discordance Between Balance Ability and Perception Is Associated With Falls in Parkinson's Disease: A Coordinated Analysis.
Article in Neurorehabilitation and neural repair, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe congruence or discordance between actual and perceived balance ability has been proposed to be linked to functional outcomes such as falls. However, gaps remain in our ability to quantify discordance, and its relationship to relevant outcomes.
objectiveTo investigate a novel quantification of concordance/discordance between balance performance and perception and determine the relationship to falls among people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD).
methodsData from 244 PwPD were aggregated from 5 previously conducted studies. Variables extracted included age, sex, Activities-Specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC; perceived balance), Timed Up and Go (TUG; balance performance), Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) part III scores, and retrospective falls (6- or 12-month). Data validation between studies was established. Discordance was quantified as the difference between an individual's predicted ABC, based upon their TUG score, to their reported ABC.
resultsTwo methods for calculating discordance were tested: simple linear regression and segmented regression. As there were no differences between the bootstrap distributions of both approaches (
conclusionsDiscordance between actual and perceived balance was uniquely related to retrospective fall history among PwPD. Clinicians and researchers should consider discordance between actual and perceived balance as a potentially modifiable target to minimize falls.
