Feasibility of an amazonian dance protocol for people with Parkinson's disease.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
Dance is a promising non-pharmacological intervention for people with Parkinson's disease (PwP), enhancing mobility, balance, coordination, and cognition. However, the feasibility and safety of Amazonian dances have not yet been evaluated. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of the Amazonian Dance Protocol (ADp) for PwP in two Brazilian regions, North and South. Over 12 weeks, 24 PwP attended ADp sessions twice weekly. Feasibility outcomes included recruitment, adherence, acceptability, and safety, assessed through questionnaires and interviews. The study reached an 89% enrollment rate, with high adherence (93.75%) and a low dropout rate (16.6%). Satisfaction levels were high (mean: 4.5/5), and 94% of participants would recommend the program. Reported benefits included improvements in motor function, emotional well-being, and social engagement, despite some coordination and balance challenges. One fall occurred, unrelated to the intervention. The ADp demonstrated strong feasibility and acceptance, supporting further research on its long-term effects and broader implementation.
