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

backgroundAxial postural abnormalities (APAs) are frequent and disabling axial symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Image-based measurement is considered the gold standard but may not accurately detect the true severity of APAs because these symptoms can appear or get worse under dynamic conditions.

objectiveThe aim was to evaluate quantitative changes in APAs degree during prolonged standing and walking in both single- and dual-task conditions (motor + cognitive).

methodsWe measured the degree of anterior and lateral trunk flexion (LTF) of 16 PD patients using AutoPosturePD during 4 tasks of 3 min each: (1) standing in place in a quiet condition, (2) standing in place while reading, (3) walking without performing other tasks, and (4) walking performing a cognitive task.

resultsDuring prolonged standing, we found a significant LTF worsening under both single- and dual-task conditions over time (P: 0.010 and 0.018); anterior trunk flexion (ATF) with thoracic and lumbar fulcrum showed a significant worsening only under dual-task conditions (P < 0.05). All trunk flexion angles were higher during dual task compared to single task, and the difference in dual task was already statistically significant after 1 min. During walking, only ATF with lumbar fulcrum showed a significant worsening (P < 0.05), observed in dual task already after 1 min.

conclusionsOur pilot study suggests that one minute standing while reading may be sufficient to obtain a more reliable measure of the severity of LTF and ATF, with an expected change of ~ 7° for LTF and ATF with thoracic fulcrum and 11° for ATF with lumbar fulcrum.
