Effects of Rehabilitative Device on Parkinsonian Gait.
Article in International journal of exercise science, 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
Parkinson's disease (PD) is second in occurrence among neurodegenerative disorders after Alzheimer's disease and significantly impacts gait and mobility. This research tested the effect of the NewGait rehabilitative device in PD impaired individuals. Twenty individuals with PD participated in this study. Walking gait for three conditions were analyzed: Normal, wearing NewGait and Post-NewGait. Standard spatial and temporal analysis measures as well as nonlinear measures from recurrence quantification were compared to determine any effects of the device on walking gait. NewGait was perceived to be both comfortable to wear as well as resulted in increased ease of movement. Step width was increased while wearing NewGait while step length was unchanged. No differences were found in temporal measures: cadence, stride time and double support time. Wearing NewGait resulted in a slight, but not significant decrease in walking velocity compared to Normal. Post-NewGait gait velocity was increased compared to wearing NewGait. Based only on these standard linear spatiotemporal measures, NewGait is somewhat intrusive for gait Parkinsonian individuals, resulting in a less effective gait. The recurrence-based analysis however, found that compared to Normal, Determinism and Laminarity was increased while wearing NewGait and Post-NewGait. Entropy was also increased while wearing NewGait and there was a tendency towards increased Entropy while walking after wearing NewGait. These results suggest NewGait allows for greater predictability and complexity of the gait pattern with increased dynamic stability than walking without NewGait. Therefore, there is potential for longer-term beneficial effects of NewGait in rehabilitation of Parkinsonian gait.
