Integrating virtual reality into multidisciplinary care for Parkinson's disease: A narrative review.
Review in Journal of Parkinson's disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms, significantly impacting patients' functionality and quality of life. Clinical exercise, as part of a multidisciplinary approach, is gaining a crucial role in PD management. Goal-based exercises, combining physical activity with cognitive tasks, external feedback and cues, motor sequencing strategies and dual-tasking may enhance motor learning processes and guide physiotherapy programs.Virtual reality (VR) and exergaming have also emerged as promising tools in PD rehabilitation, offering challenging activities in multisensory environments. They provide intensive and repetitive training, augmented feedback, and tailored exercises in highly interactive and enriched environments. Clinical studies have presented promising results in people with PD, supported by neuroimaging studies showing distinct brain activation patterns post-VR training. However, heterogeneity in study design and lack of standardized characterization of VR systems hinder further application in PD rehabilitation.In this review, we appraise the distinguishing features between different VR systems, highlight VR-related motor and cognitive training in PD and explore how VR interventions are aligned with principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning in PD.
