Gait and posture analysis in rats with Parkinson's disease using DeepLabCut during beam test.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. 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: Gait and postural impairments in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) severely affect daily activities and are important targets for treatment. Aim: This study aimed to analyze gait and posture in PD-model rats during the beam test using DeepLabCut (DLC), a deep neural network for motion tracking. Methods: Ten rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions and five sham-operated rats were tested. The beam test was used to evaluate foot slips, execution time, head and trunk inclination, and stride length using images captured from frontal, lateral, and top views. Results: The 6-OHDA group exhibited significantly longer task times. Frontal-view images revealed a greater head tilt in the PD group than in the SHAM group. Lateral-view images showed a shorter stride length, and top-view images indicated larger mean and maximum trunk inclination angles in the PD group than in the SHAM group. Conclusion: DLC successfully detected these gait and posture abnormalities, indicating that it is an effective method for evaluating motor function in PD-model rats. This approach may serve as a reliable tool for assessing the therapeutic effects of PD.
