Social support may not impact physical function outcomes following a tango or walking intervention in people with Parkinson's disease: an exploratory analysis of a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Poor physical function influences social support among people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Physical function can be improved through exercise, but whether social support influences intervention responsiveness is unclear. This study aimed to (1) examine the influence of 12 weeks of group exercise (tango or walking) on physical function in people with PD who reported low versus high baseline social support, and (2) determine the influence of intervention type on social support effects. This exploratory analysis of an ongoing assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (1:1) [NCT04122690] included 40 participants with PD (69.24 ± 7.73 years; 26.3% female; Hoehn & Yahr: 2.28 ± 0.58). We used the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support to categorize participants into high or low support groups. Participants were assessed OFF medication at baseline and 12 weeks using the timed-up-and-go, 360-degree turn, forward, backward, and fast gait speed, 6-min walk, chair stand, and tandem stance tests. Participants were randomized into tango (
