Distinct finger-tapping feature in progressive supranuclear palsy correlates with motor function and brain atrophy.
Article in NPJ Parkinson's disease, 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
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by 4-repeat tau deposition, whose symptoms overlap with Parkinson's disease (PD). It is necessary to develop objective biomarkers for accurate differentiation. This study used video-based kinematic analysis to assess finger-tapping performance in 31 PSP patients, 31 PD patients, and 30 healthy controls (HC). Results showed PSP patients exhibited smaller finger-tapping angles, slower velocities, shorter cycle durations, and no sequence effect compared with PD patients and HCs. The average finger-tapping angle effectively distinguished PSP from PD (AUC = 0.83). In PSP, smaller angles and velocities correlated with worse motor and balance function, and these finger tapping parameters were associated with volumes of nucleus accumbens, superior temporal gyrus, cerebellum, and brainstem. Video-based finger-tapping kinematic analysis serves as a non-invasive biomarker for PSP diagnosis and motor assessment.
