Sedentary behavior modifies the effect of balance rehabilitation on balance discordance in Parkinson's disease.

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
Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) often experience a misalignment between their perceived and actual balance ability, known as balance discordance, which has been associated with falls. We examined whether high-intensity balance and gait training (HiBalance) alters balance discordance in individuals with PD, and whether baseline sedentary behavior influences these changes. A secondary analysis examining pre- to post-intervention discordance changes of two HiBalance clinical trials (N = 97) using linear regression with interactions between sedentary behavior and pre-intervention discordance. The sample included two cohorts: one clinical and one research based. The model including sedentary behavior and its interaction with pre-intervention discordance explained 49% of variance. Significant predictors of post-intervention discordance were pre-intervention discordance (β = 8.78, p < 0.001) and cohort (β = 8.82, p = 0.006), while the interaction between pre-intervention discordance and sedentary time did not reach significance (β = -2.64, p = 0.05). Sensitivity analyses revealed that the clinical-based cohort model explained 24.7% of the variance in post-intervention discordance, with the interaction between pre-intervention discordance and sedentary time (β = -7.23, p = 0.004) as a significant predictor. HiBalance training did not significantly alter balance discordance. However, pre-intervention sedentary behavior may influence how much individuals with PD recalibrate the relationship between perceived and actual balance following physical rehabilitation.
