Effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease: systematic review protocol.
Article in BJPsych open, 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
backgroundCognitive impairment is a significant, yet often overlooked, non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease, and a strong predictor of quality of life for those affected. Despite the availability of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options for Parkinson's disease, their efficacy for the cognitive symptoms of the disease specifically is unclear, as no 'gold standard' treatment strategy for cognitive impairment in the disease has yet emerged. Further, a comparative understanding of the efficacy of each of these treatment options is severely lacking.
aimsThis systematic review aims to critically evaluate the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease.
methodA comprehensive systematic search will be conducted to identify studies involving participants clinically diagnosed with Parkinson's disease that assess non-pharmacological interventions targeting cognitive impairment. If feasible, results will be synthesised using meta-analysis; otherwise, narrative synthesis will be used.
resultsThis is a protocol for a systematic review that is yet to be conducted.
conclusionsThe findings from this review will provide critical insight into the efficacy of non-pharmacological treatment options for cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease, which may help to influence clinical recommendations for the treatment of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease and highlight existing gaps in the literature.
