1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) and accurate assessment of disease progression are critical for optimizing treatment and rehabilitation. However, there is no consensus on how to effectively detect early-stage PD and classify motor symptom severity using gait analysis. This study evaluated the accuracy of machine learning models in classifying early and moderate-stages of PD based on spatiotemporal gait features at different walking speeds. A total of 178 participants were recruited, including 103 individuals with PD (61 early-stage, 42 moderate-stage) and 75 healthy controls. Participants performed a walking test on a 24-m walkway at three speeds: preferred walking speed (PWS), 20% faster (HWS), and 20% slower (LWS). Key features-walking speed at PWS, stride length at HWS, and the coefficient of variation (CV) of the stride length at LWS-achieved a classification accuracy of 78.1% using the random forest algorithm. For early PD detection, the stride length at HWS and CV of the stride length at LWS provided an accuracy of 67.3% with Naïve Bayes. Walking at PWS was the most critical feature for distinguishing early from moderate PD, with an accuracy of 69.8%. These findings suggest that assessing gait over consecutive steps under different speed conditions may improve the early detection and severity assessment of individuals with PD.
