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

Commonly used clinical tools like the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest), Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) are essential for assessing balance impairments in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), but their clinical relevance depends on understanding the Minimal Important Difference (MID) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC). To assess the responsiveness of the Mini-BESTest, DGI, BBS, and POMA in PwPD. This prospective cohort study included 130 PwPD who were recruited. Participants underwent baseline and post-intervention assessments using the Mini-BESTest, DGI, BBS, and POMA. The intervention consisted of task-oriented exercises focused on motor re-learning to improve functional balance. Anchor and distribution methods were used to determine the MID (the receiver-operating characteristic(ROC)-based (MID
