A Narrative Review of Community-Based Epidemiological Studies on Parkinson's Disease in India.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 the second most prevalent neurodegenerative condition, following Alzheimer's disease. Worldwide, the prevalence of PD differs among various populations and geographical areas. In our nation, there is a paucity of population-based epidemiological research that can effectively ascertain the prevalence of PD. In this review article, we have attempted to examine the prevalence rates gathered from the neuro-epidemiological studies in India. We searched for published articles on the prevalence rate of PD in India from PubMed and Google Scholar, using the keywords "prevalence", "burden", "epidemiology", "Parkinson's disease", and "India". The review includes all the community-based studies that calculated the prevalence rate of PD. There are few community-based studies on the prevalence rate of PD. The observed prevalence rates vary a lot in urban and rural areas; also, urban areas show higher prevalence rates than rural areas. Some studies suggest that Parkinson's disease is more common among males, while others indicate a higher prevalence among females. Almost all research suggests that the prevalence rate increases with age for both males and females. The study carried out at the senior care facility revealed that the elderly had a limited understanding of Parkinson's disease. Epidemiological studies on PD are crucial to expanding our knowledge about PD. Given the variations in regions, ethnic groups, and cultures, conducting a comprehensive nationwide multi-center study is essential to investigate the prevalence and factors contributing to PD. Initiatives to raise awareness about PD are also the need of the hour.
