Benefits of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation and Lee Silverman Voice Treatment in a Parkinson's Disease Patient With Meningoencephalitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 neurological disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that significantly impact patients' quality of life. Meningoencephalitis, an inflammation of the brain and its surrounding membranes, exacerbates the neurological features of PD, leading to considerable disability. This case report describes a 73-year-old female with a five-year history of PD who presented with meningoencephalitis. She exhibited pyrexia, dyspnea, and neurological symptoms consistent with meningeal irritation. Diagnostic investigations indicated viral meningoencephalitis. Following medical management, the patient completed a four-week physical therapy program, including Lee Silverman voice treatment, rhythmic auditory stimulation, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises. These physiotherapy interventions focused on mobilization to improve range of motion, muscle strength, neuromuscular coordination, and functional ability. Quantitative outcome measures - such as the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Modified Hoehn and Yahr stage, and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 - showed positive changes following the intervention. The outcomes highlight the benefits of a multifaceted rehabilitation approach for patients with PD and concurrent meningoencephalitis. This case underscores the importance of initiating physiotherapy early to enhance motor outcomes and quality of life in patients with complex neurological conditions.
