It Takes a Village: Patient Satisfaction in a Specialized Atypical Parkinsonism Interdisciplinary Clinic.
Article in Brain and neuroscience advances. 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
Background & Objectives: Atypical parkinsonism syndromes (multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal syndrome (CBS)) are life-limiting neurodegenerative disorders with complex motor and nonmotor symptoms. A person-centered, coordinated, multidisciplinary approach may provide optimal care. Interdisciplinary care models in complex neurologic diseases are shown to improve disease outcomes. It is unknown whether specialized interdisciplinary care benefits people with atypical parkinsonism. Our study sought to determine patient satisfaction with a specialized atypical parkinsonism interdisciplinary clinic. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was conducted of anonymous satisfaction surveys from patients who attended the UNC atypical parkinsonism interdisciplinary clinic from 10/2017-3/2024. The survey was divided into four subcategories - Services, Results, Clinicians, and Overall Experience. Responses were converted to numerical values for statistical analysis. Linear regression was used to determine predictors of overall experience scores. Qualitative data was analyzed and categorized into themes. Results: 51.4% of all clinic attendees were diagnosed with PSP, 36.5% with MSA, and 9.5% with CBS. 39 of 74 (52.7%) satisfaction surveys were completed. Survey responses indicated high levels of satisfaction across all categories. Responses in the services category were the strongest predictor of variability in overall experience scores. Common themes from qualitative data were expressions of gratitude and constructive feedback. Discussion: We report high patient satisfaction ratings in this first investigation of patient-centered outcomes in specialized interdisciplinary clinics for atypical parkinsonism. Future investigations focused on quality of life and care partner burden will provide additional insights for best care practices for people living with atypical parkinsonisms.
