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.

2 · The registry

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

Freezing of gait (FOG) is among the most debilitating symptoms of Parkinson disease and related disorders, often resulting in falls and a loss of independence. FOG has an episodic and heterogeneous nature that makes it difficult to measure and treat. The field currently lacks a consensus on how to precisely define this phenomenon. For this reason, the International Consortium for Freezing of Gait convened a group of experts to establish an updated 'clinical' definition of FOG for use in the clinical setting and a 'technical' definition for assessors to use when scoring FOG episodes from video recordings as an outcome in fundamental research and clinical trials. Guidelines on how to classify people with Parkinson disease into subgroups of those with or without FOG (non-FOG) are also provided. This position paper presents these new definitions and guidelines, offering a foundation for harmonizing the study and management of FOG.
