Subtype of the Freezing of Gait and Motor Function in Patients with Parkinson's Disease.

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
backgroundThe association between freezing of gait and motor function in Parkinson's disease is variable, and the results suggest the existence of subtypes.
objectivesThis study aimed to identify the subtypes of freezing of gait and motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease.
methodsSixty-one patients were included. This study assessed motor function using the freezing of gait questionnaire, the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III. For statistical analyses, we conducted a cluster analysis using the freezing of gait and motor function. Analysis of covariance with age and L-dopa dosing as a covariate was performed for each cluster (P < 0.05).
resultsCluster 1 (N = 15) had the lowest freezing of gait scores compared to the other clusters, and its motor function scores were lower than those of cluster 3 (N = 9) (P < 0.05). Cluster 2 (N = 37) had moderate freezing of gait scores (vs. cluster 1, P < 0.05), and motor function showed lower scores than cluster 3 (P < 0.05); however, the score was not significantly different from that of cluster 1 (P > 0.05). Cluster 3 had moderate freezing of gait scores (vs. cluster 1, P < 0.05; vs. 2, P > 0.05) and higher motor function scores than the other clusters (P < 0.05); however, the freezing of gait score was not significantly different from that of cluster 2 (P > 0.05).
conclusionsThis study revealed new subtypes that presents with freezing of gait but high motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease.
