Influence of wearable rhythmic auditory stimulation on Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Movement therapy using Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) has been proven beneficial in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, research regarding RAS-therapy using wearable devices in all neurological disorders is needed. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of RAS-therapy using wearable devices on movement in individuals with neurological disorders. Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources June 27, 2024. PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, PEDro and ScienceDirect were searched. Following PRISMA-guidelines 2020. Inclusion criteria: all neurological disorders, Rhythmic auditory stimulation, wearable devices, movement parameters, studies written in Dutch or English. Exclusion criteria: non-neurological disorders, children, animals, healthy individuals, other interventions, EMG and EEG outcome parameters, patient reported outcome parameters, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and other languages besides Dutch or English. Risk of bias was assessed using the QualSyst tool. 7993 articles after double-blind screening; thirty studies were included in the review and fifteen in the meta-analysis. Results showed improvements in stride length, step length, gait velocity, double support time, arm swing peak velocity and arm swing ROM. The meta-analysis confirmed significant improvements in gait velocity and stride length within a longitudinal design as well as when compared to a control group. Improvement in cadence was only significant in a longitudinal design but non-significant when compared to a control group (p = 0.247). RAS-therapy can be implemented for rehabilitation of PD, MS and stroke.
