Excessive daytime sleepiness and gait disturbances in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), has been reported to exacerbate gait disturbance in patients with PD, but there is a lack of objective assessment, as well as an unknown specific mechanism. The purpose of our study is to explore the relationship between EDS and gait parameters. Methods: Sixty-one patients with PD were recruited and divided into the EDS group ( Results: Compared with the non-EDS group, the EDS group showed significantly shorter step lengths and stride lengths, slower walk speed and gait speed, reduced shank-max forward swing and sagittal angular velocity, and increased phase coordination indices and mean duration of turns. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant association between ESS scores and various gait parameters. Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that EDS is an independent factor influencing gait in patients with PD. Conclusion: EDS was independently associated with gait disturbances in patients with PD, suggesting that EDS symptoms warrant serious attention in clinical practice.
