Bone health in Parkinson's disease: a comprehensive review of bone involvement and its pathophysiological mechanisms.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 a frequent neurodegenerative disorder that combines motor and non-motor features, including impaired balance, gait disturbances, and progressive loss of mobility. Bone involvement is well established, with low bone mass and elevated fracture risk- especially hip fractures- being common findings. Because of impaired balance, gait disturbances, cognitive dysfunction, and autonomic failure, individuals with PD experience a markedly elevated risk of falls. Osteoporosis in PD likely results from a convergence of nutritional deficiencies, vitamin D insufficiency, weight loss with sarcopenia, and progressive muscle weakness. Anti-Parkinson medications such as levodopa may also contribute through hyperhomocysteinemia. In addition, dopamine depletion and chronic inflammation may further disrupt bone remodeling. This review summarizes current evidence on bone mineral density, bone quality, falls, and fractures in PD and discusses the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this comorbidity.
