Characteristics of responders to interventions for Parkinson disease: a scoping systematic review.
Article in Neurodegenerative disease management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimsThe purpose of this review is to identify the characteristics of responders in interventions targeting motor function for individuals with Parkinson disease. MATERIALS &
methodsThe primary search included, 'Parkinson' + 'responder.' A second, broader, search further included 'response' + 'responsiveness' + 'responsive.' Records were sorted by intervention: neuromodulation, pharmaceutical, physical, and placebo.
resultsThirteen studies were identified in the primary and 19 studies in the secondary search, culminating in 120 characteristics. For neuromodulation interventions, responders were younger at onset, more responsive to levodopa, and had more difficulties with activities of daily living. Responders to pharmaceuticals were younger at diagnosis. Physical intervention responders had worse balance, less balance confidence, and worse cognition. No relevant characteristics were identified for placebo interventions.
conclusionsAlthough there are clear limitations and gaps in the literature, responder analyses represent an important step toward more personalized treatments for the motor symptoms of Parkinson disease.
