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
BackgroundCompensation strategies have been shown to improve functional mobility in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who live independently. However, knowledge on its utilization in in long-term care (LTC) settings is unknown.ObjectiveThis study aimed to establish the knowledge and utilization of compensation strategies for functional mobility for individuals with PD among healthcare professionals working in LTC facilities in the Netherlands. Secondary aims included assessing subgroup differences among healthcare professionals and exploring perceived barriers to utilizing these strategies in LTC.MethodsA cross-sectional online survey design was conducted with (allied) healthcare professionals working in LTC facilities across the Netherlands.ResultsOverall knowledge and utilization of compensation strategies among 130 healthcare professionals was high, with a median of 5 out of 7 known categories, 4 out of 7 used for gait, and 3 out of 5 for transfers. Variations among professions existed, with physiotherapists and occupational therapists demonstrating higher scores than nurses and personal care assistants. Professionals specifically trained in PD care and those working in specialized PD departments demonstrated a higher level of knowledge. Main identified barriers for utilization were limited knowledge and time of the healthcare professionals, and concerns regarding limited feasibility in patients with severe cognitive impairments.ConclusionsWhile knowledge and utilization of compensation strategies for PD in LTC facilities was widespread, the findings highlight a need for tailored training programs for healthcare professionals to improve patient care. Future research should evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of such training programs.
