Range of Motion and Intensity Achieved During a Single Session of Targeted Robot-Assisted Exercise in Individuals with Parkinson's Disease: A Pilot Study.
Article in Sensors (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
The goal of this study was to determine if a robot-assisted exercise system could lead individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) through different joint ranges of motion in a fun and effective manner. Eleven individuals with PD participated. A novel robotic system placed a target at different places in space for participants to tap with their hand, foot or knee. The range of motion (ROM) was collected by inertial measurement units (APDM), and was extracted using a custom code (Matlab). ROM was dependent upon the exercise and joint of interest. Participants illustrated acceptable levels of fatigue during each session, based on an average ending heart rate of 107.0 ± 11.9 bpm (~70% of maxHR) and an ending RPE of 6.5 ± 1.8 on a 10-point scale, indicating that the sessions were appropriately challenging. Standing forward reach, used to assess static balance and flexibility, improved by an average of 1.7 inches (
