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

Smart devices can easily capture changes in voice, movements, and gait in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). We investigated whether smartphone-derived multimodal features combined with machine learning algorithms can aid in early PD identification. We recruited 496 participants, split into a training cohort (127 PD patients during "on" phase and 198 age-matched controls) and a test dataset (86 patients during "off" phase and 85 age-matched controls). Multidomain features from smartphone recordings were analyzed using machine learning classifiers with integration of a hyperparameter grid. Single-modality models for voice, hand movements, and gait showed diagnostic values of 0.88, 0.74, and 0.81, respectively, with test dataset values of 0.80, 0.74, and 0.76. An integrated multimodal model using a support vector machine improved performance to 0.86 and achieved 0.82 for identifying early-stage PD during the "off" phase. A smartphone-based integrated multimodality model combining voice, hand movement, and gait shows promise for early PD identification.
