Discordance between actual and perceived balance ability relates to quality of life and global cognition in a clinical sample of Parkinson patients.

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
BackgroundMisalignment between actual and perceived balance ability provides relevant information to understand functional deficits and fall risk. However, few studies have provided a continuous quantification of misalignment in neurological populations such as people with Parkinson's disease (PD).ObjectiveDetermine whether a continuous quantification of misalignment between actual and perceived balance ability, discordance, relates to functional outcomes such as quality of life and cognition.MethodsActual (gait velocity), and perceived (Activities of Balance Confidence) balance, cognition (measured via a computer-based cognitive assessment), and mobility-related quality of life were captured in a clinical sample of 95 people with PD. Primary outcomes were quality of life and cognitive domains frequently altered in people with PD (global cognition & executive function). Secondary cognitive domains assessed were attention, memory, visuo-spatial, verbal function, and information processing. Linear and non-linear models assessed the relationship between discordance, quality of life, and cognition.ResultsDiscordance related to mobility-related quality of life, such that under-confidence was related to poorer quality of life. Non-linear (quadratic) models were shown to fit the discordance-Global cognition (
