Characteristics of the Rest and Activity Patterns in Patients With Mild to Moderate Parkinson's Syndrome.
Article in Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundFew studies have examined the characteristics of the decline in physical activity levels in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients from the perspective of a 24-h behavioural profile, including sleep.
objectiveTo identify factors related to the rest and activity patterns in PD patients by assessing the Rest-Activity Rhythm.
methodsThe participants were 20 patients with Parkinson's syndrome (PS group) and 20 healthy elderly community residents (control group). The nonparametric rest-activity rhythm parameters were measured by a wristwatch-type activity monitor worn by the study subjects on the non-dominant hand continuously for at least 5 days. To assess the specific symptoms of PS in the patients, the scores on the Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) were collected from the medical records.
resultsIn the PS group, a negative correlation was found between the relative amplitude and score for part I of the MDS-UPDRS, that is, non-motor symptoms (r = -0.51, p < 0.05). Additionally, binomial logistic regression analysis revealed two regression models, with Model I showing a significant association with the highest physical activity level over the 24-h profile (odds ratio, 0.96; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.94-0.99; p = 0.002) and Model II showing a significant association with a fragmented rhythm (odds ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.07; p = 0.004).
conclusionThese results suggest that rehabilitation of PD patients should include increasing their physical activity levels while minimising intermittency of the rest and activity patterns, and that attention should be paid to non-motor symptoms in addition to motor symptoms.
