Differences in configurations of the six-minute walk test for people with Parkinson disease.
Article in Neurodegenerative disease management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimCompare three straight-path configurations of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in persons with Parkinson disease with and without freezing of gait (FOG). MATERIALS &
methodsExperiment 1 participants performed the 30-m standardized and 7.5-m straight-path configurations of the 6MWT. Experiment 2 participants performed the 30-m standardized and 15-m straight-path configurations of the 6MWT. Tests were performed a week apart at the same time of day.
resultsParticipants walked 60 meters less in the 7.5-m than in the 30-m configuration (
conclusionsWhen limited clinic space prevents setup of the standard 30-m configuration of the 6MWT, shortening the configuration to less than 15 meters may result in substantially smaller outcomes that are not comparable to published norms for persons with Parkinson disease.
