1 · What the graph read from it

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

objectiveHumans use their motor and cognitive functions simultaneously while voluntarily performing real-time selective motor movements in daily life. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dual-task training on upper extremity motor skills and daily living activities in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

methodsThe patients were randomized into two groups. One of the groups (Control) received a conventional physiotherapy program, while the other group (Dual-Task) also performed a cognitive-based dual-task intervention in addition to traditional rehabilitation. All rehabilitation programs were continued for 60 × 5 × 6 min/day/week. The assessments were performed twice: The two subsections of the MDS-Unified Parkinson’s Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS II and III), Box Block Test (BBT), and Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39).

resultsThere was no difference in any parameter between the groups, neither baseline nor after treatment (p > 0.05 for all). In the within-group assessments, the amount of change was higher in the MDS-UPDRS II and III sub-dimensions scores of the Dual-Task group. An increase was observed in the BBT results of both groups compared to pre-treatment (p < 0.05 for all). While the PDQ-39 score of the Dual-Task group improved by approximately 18% (p = 0.003), no change was detected in the control group (p = 0.413).

conclusionDual-task interference maintained throughout rehabilitation may enable the development of motor-cognitive functions required by individuals with Parkinson’s disease to perform daily living activities. For this reason, including dual-task training in rehabilitation to manage upper extremity impairment due to Parkinson’s disease may be helpful to maximize gains.

trial registrationThis study was registered to clinicaltrials.gov with NCT06803212 ID (01.30.2025).
