PARKinSOUND: Impact of participation in an orchestra in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Article in Journal of Parkinson's disease, 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
Music therapy has emerged as a promising complementary intervention for Parkinson's disease (PD). PARKinSOUND, a non-randomized clinical trial, evaluated the feasibility of a community orchestra intervention for individuals with PD (n = 22), compared to a control group (n = 21). After the intervention, the orchestra group showed a modest improvement in depressive symptoms compared to baseline (Beck Depression Inventory: -0.5, p = 0.049) and controls (-5.5, p = 0.011), while motor scores (MDS-UPDRS III) remained stable. Self-reported overall improvements (PGI-C) were also higher in the orchestra group (p = 0.003). Although placebo effects may partly explain the benefits, these findings suggest emotional benefits and perceived overall improvement, providing insights for future research.
