Gait ecological assessment in persons with Parkinson's disease engaged in a synchronized musical rehabilitation program.
Article in NPJ Parkinson's disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Data on gait parameters during real-life activities and home rehabilitation programs for Persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPDs) are scarce. Although cueing has been shown to improve their gait in laboratory conditions, few studies have applied this technique in at-home rehabilitation programs. Our study aimed to explore the use of a real-time synchronized beat-step music program for at-home rehabilitation. We conducted a 1-month outdoor gait rehabilitation program called BeatPark (30 min/day, 5 days/week), with 25 PwPDs, using real-time synchronized, cued, music, and measurements through the BeatMove application. We demonstrated that real-world walking with BeatMove exhibited improved gait parameters both within and across sessions. These improvements were further confirmed by the Six-Minute Walk Test conducted in silence in the laboratory before and after the program. Measures in real life are unique tools to enhance rehabilitation programs. Future research incorporating a control group will be essential to fully validate these encouraging findings.
