Heel-Elevation Effects on Sit-to-Stand Movement in Patients with Parkinson's Disease-A Randomized Crossover Study.
Trial report in NeuroRehabilitation, 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
ObjectiveTo examine the effect of heel elevation using a tilting plate on sit-to-stand performance in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, evaluate the influence of different tilt angles, and identify clinical factors associated with this effect.MethodsThirty-six PD patients participated in a randomized crossover trial. Half started in a flat position, and half in a heel-elevated position, using three tilting angles. The time to complete five times sit-to-stand tests (FTSST) was measured under flat and heel-elevated conditions.ResultsThe fastest FTSST in the heel-elevated condition was reduced by a median decrease of 2.3 s and a median reduction of 14.0% when compared to the flat condition. Neither tilt angle nor ankle dorsiflexion range of motion was not associated with the reduction in FTSST duration. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that the time of FTSST under the flat condition and the standing subscale in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III exhibited significant positive associations with the observed shortening effects of FTSST induced by heel elevation.ConclusionsThe use of a heel-elevation intervention reduces the duration of transitioning from a seated to a standing position among patients with PD, particularly among those with a more pronounced disability.
