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

objectiveA lack of standardized methods for evaluating postural abnormalities hinders treatment progress. The role of pelvic lateral shift (PLS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP) exhibiting lateral trunk flexion (LTF) remains unclear. We hypothesized that PLS is related to LTF and investigated its characteristics and relationship with the LTF angle.

methodsPwP attending outpatient rehabilitation (March 2018-March 2023) were assessed via still images. The PLS direction, its relationship with the LTF angle, and the LTF angle on the PLS side were analyzed.

resultsAmong 158 patients, PLS was contralateral in 80 (50.6%), ipsilateral in 43 (27.2%), and absent in 35 (22.2%). In the contralateral PLS, but not in the ipsilateral PLS, the PLS angle was correlated with the LTF angle (r=0.48, p<0.001). The LTF angle was greater in the contralateral shift (8.5°±9.6°) than in the ipsilateral shift (2.8°±4.2°, p<0.001).

conclusionBased on the positive relationship between the LTF angle and contralateral shift angle, evaluation criteria that include PLS are needed for PwP with LTF.
