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

Introduction: Exercise is a recognized treatment for people with Parkinson's Disease (PwP), but personal exercise preferences are rarely considered in exercise intervention studies. Yet these are critical for understanding motivation and to ascertain long-term exercise adherence in PwP. This study compared preferred exercise types among PwP with exercise types investigated in prior research. Method: 672 PwP participated in an online survey, answering questions about currently practiced and preferred exercise types. Besides, a brief review was performed, evaluating exercise types deployed in prior studies. The preferred exercise types of PwP were subsequently compared to exercise types used in prior research. Results: PwP mainly preferred the same exercises that they were currently practicing. These preferences did not necessarily align with exercise types reported in prior studies. The top 5 highly preferred sport categories but relatively little studied were walking, biking, swimming, boxing, and tennis. Conclusion: Future intervention studies may benefit from considering personal preferences to both strengthen and understand exercise adherence.
