Effects of remote Baduanjin Qigong intervention on quality of life and physical function in patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease: a protocol of randomized controlled trial.

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
Background: This study aims to evaluate the effects of remote Baduanjin Qigong intervention on the quality of life and physical function in patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease (PD) through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and to compare its efficacy with conventional exercise rehabilitation. Methods/design: This RCT will enroll participants who, following baseline assessments and physical function tests, will be randomly allocated into one of three groups: the Qigong group (QG), the conventional exercise rehabilitation group (EG), or the control group (CG). The QG will engage in live-streamed Baduanjin (Eight-Section Brocade) sessions three times per week, each lasting 40 min, with additional self-practice encouraged. The EG will undergo a structured regimen consisting of moderate period high-intensity resistance training (MP-HI-RT) combined with moderate period low-intensity aerobic exercise (MP-LI-AE), also performed remotely in three 40-min sessions per week. The CG will continue their routine daily activities without additional exercise intervention. Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline (Week 1), mid-intervention (Week 6), and post-intervention (Week 12) to evaluate both short-term and long-term effects. The primary outcomes include quality of life, evaluated using the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39), the MOS 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale developed by the Movement Disorder Society Part I (MDS-UPDRS Part I). Secondary outcomes encompass reaction time, balance, physical coordination, flexibility, and walking capacity. Discussion: The importance of exercise rehabilitation for PD is increasingly recognized by doctors and patients. However, accessible and practical rehabilitation methods remain an area of active investigation. Remote Baduanjin Qigong intervention via the Internet offers a promising alternative for mild to moderate Parkinson's disease patients.
