Article in American journal of lifestyle medicine, 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
purposeThis study investigated the impact of a novel group health coaching curriculum on self-efficacy, overall sense of well-being, and self-reported behavior change for people with Parkinson disease (PwP).
methodsThis pretest-posttest, mixed-methods study introduced a novel group health coaching curriculum, developed by a Parkinson nurse navigator and certified health coach, to target self-efficacy and well-being in PwP. Data was analyzed via descriptive statistics of survey data and thematic analysis.
findingsWith a sample size of 17 participants taking the pre-intervention survey and 12 taking the post-survey, results revealed a 0.27-point average improvement for the Neuro-QoL Positive Affect and Well-Being scale with the highest increase noted in feelings of a sense of purpose with a 0.47-point increase. PROMIS Self-Efficacy scores improved in 8 out of 10 items by an average of 0.22 points. Thematic analysis revealed five domains of participant-perceived benefits including exercise, nutrition, commitment, community building, and goal setting.
conclusionPreliminary data indicates that this novel group health coaching model and curriculum for Parkinson disease has potential to positively impact well-being, self-efficacy, and self-reported healthy habits. Given results of this pilot initiative, future research to increase sample size and expand objective measurements is warranted.
