Manual Dexterity Rehabilitation in Parkinson's Disease and Paranoid Schizophrenia: A Controlled Study.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundManual dexterity (MD) impairment is a frequent and disabling feature in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and paranoid schizophrenia (PS), significantly affecting functional independence and activities of daily living. However, rehabilitation strategies specifically targeting fine motor control remain insufficiently integrated into routine physiotherapy (PT).
objectiveThis study investigated the effects of a structured, progressive PT program incorporating targeted MD training on upper limb function in patients with PD and PS.
methodsA prospective, exploratory, interventional study was conducted in 30 patients, allocated to either an experimental group (EG,
resultsThe EG showed significantly greater improvements than the CG in thumb opposition, psychomotor processing speed, and unilateral and bilateral fine motor performance (
conclusionsIntegrating targeted MD training into structured PT programs significantly improves fine motor performance in patients with PD and PS, supporting its inclusion in rehabilitation protocols for residential and outpatient care settings.
