1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological degenerative condition affecting motor and non-motor functions of everyday life. While early management focuses on functional mobility and rehabilitation, evidence supports that yogic interventions as adjuvant therapy are applied yet limited in clinical practice. This study developed a customised yoga therapy module (CYTM) for motor and non-motor conditions, particularly for people with mild to moderate PD. Purpose: To develop a patient-friendly, symptom-specific, 24-week CYTM for people living with early Parkinsonism of Hoehn and Yahr staging scale I-III. Methods: The study follows a five-phased methodological development, which comprises a literature search, conceptualisation and development of a 24-week CYTM for early PD, evaluation with validation by the subject/panel experts, and relevance, along with a phase-wise operational method. The relevance of selected practices was validated with the item-level content validity index (I-CVI) and scale-level (S)-CVI/AVR/UA. Results: The executed five-phased methodological framework, and the newly developed CYTM comprises 29 practices to improve the functional changes of people with early PD. Experts' ratings yielded I-CVI (>0.91), scale-level content validity index of the average (S-CVI/AVR) (>0.995) with average and scale-level content validity index based on universal agreement (S-CVI/UA) (Universal Agreement) >0.941. Conclusion: As per the expert's opinion, the newly developed, symptom-specific, participant-friendly CYTM could be an appropriate practice for people living with mild to moderate PD. This CYTM will be evaluated by a non-randomised controlled clinical trial to establish its effectiveness.
