Effectiveness of virtual reality-based cognitive behavioral group therapy on reducing anxiety and depression in Parkinson's patients: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Introduction/objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of virtual reality-based cognitive behavioral group therapy (VR-CBGT) on reducing anxiety and depression in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: A randomized clinical trial with a pretest and posttest design was conducted involving 90 Parkinson's patients, from Roozbeh Hospital, Tehran in 2023. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving 12 sessions of VR-CBGT over 3 months or a control group with no psychological intervention. Both groups completed the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS-25. Results: The experimental group showed significant reductions in depression and anxiety compared to the control group. VR-CBGT explained 15% of the variance in depression ( Conclusion: VR-CBGT effectively alleviates depression and anxiety in Parkinson's patients, offering a promising therapeutic approach. Integrating VR into CBT enhances engagement and real-life skill application, supporting its use as a complementary intervention.
