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
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) has become the fastest-growing neurological disease worldwide. This network meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of transcranial stimulation combined with four rehabilitation approaches for improving gait and motor function in Parkinson's disease. Methods: We systematically searched seven databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang. Data from 23 randomized controlled trials ( Results: (1) For gait outcomes, Dual-Task Training showed optimal efficacy for improving stride length (SUCRA = 100%) and velocity (86.5%), while Exercise Rehabilitation best improved cadence (100%). (2) For motor function, Conventional Rehabilitation demonstrated superior improvement in the Timed Up and Go test (100%), and Dual-Task Training showed advantages in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III scores (85.1%). All combined interventions significantly outperformed the control groups ( Conclusion: The results support the use of personalized rehabilitation strategies: Dual-Task Training for patients with stride deficits and prominent motor symptoms, Exercise Rehabilitation for cadence improvement, and Conventional Rehabilitation for enhancing general mobility. These findings provide evidence-based guidance for optimizing neurorehabilitation protocols in the management of Parkinson's disease.
