Determinants of Adherence and Satisfaction in Parkinson's Disease Exercise Programs: A Comparison of 16-Months of Adapted Tango vs. Supervised Walking.
Article in Research square, 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
Moderate aerobic activities are promising treatment modalities for mitigating motor and cognitive deficits associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aims to characterize the association of PD-specific characteristics with compliance and satisfaction to the moderate-aerobic activity. Thirty-six participants with PD engaged in either adapted Argentine tango (TANGO) (n=20) or supervised walking (WALK) (n=16) classes for 16 months. Participants attended between59 to 76 classes to be fully compliant. Metrics associated with PD characteristics, including frequency and duration of dyskinesia and OFF state, freezing of gait status (FOG), years since PD diagnosis, Hoehn-Yahr Stage and motor and cognitive function, were collected. Linear regression models were used to examine the association of the PD metrics with treatment compliance (number of completed classes) and self-reported program satisfaction composites. Program engagement analysis revealed a wide attendance distribution (range: 1-76 sessions; mean ± SD: 39.1 ± 26.0 sessions) over the 16-month intervention period. Overall participant satisfaction was favorable (mean ± SD: 4.0 ± 0.8 on a 5-point scale) across motor-cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial domains. Multivariate analysis identified significant negative correlations between dyskinesia metrics and program compliance, with both percentage of waking time with dyskinesia (β = -0.381, R
