Prevalence of experienced changes in artistic and everyday creativity in people with Parkinson's disease.
Article in NPJ Parkinson's disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Creativity is the ability to generate novel and meaningful ideas or behaviors, encompassing both artistic originality and personal satisfaction. Emerging evidence suggests that people with Parkinson's disease (PD) may experience changes in creativity. This study examines the prevalence of creativity changes in PD using cross-sectional data from the Netherlands (PRIME-NL, 2021-2023). Participants (N = 793) self-reported creativity changes, demographics, clinical factors, and pre-diagnosis creative engagement via a self-structured questionnaire. Descriptive analyses revealed that 41% of respondents reported creativity changes: 12% experienced an increase, 22% a decrease, and 7% fluctuations. Ordinal regression analysis showed that longer disease duration and dopamine agonists were associated with increased creativity, while older age and prior creative engagement predicted decreases. A sub-cohort (n = 292) reported creativity changes across seven domains, with changes most frequently observed in everyday creativity, sports/movement, and fine art/design. These findings underscore the need for further research on creativity in PD to inform person-centered treatment strategies.
