Outcomes of rehabilitation following device-aided therapy start in parkinson's disease: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 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
objectiveTo determine whether adding tailored primary care rehabilitation to Device-Aided Therapy in Parkinson's disease improves outcomes more than Device-Aided Therapy alone.
designOpen randomized controlled intervention trial. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Parkinson's patients initiating Device-Aided Therapy.
methodsParticipants were randomized to receive standard care either with or without 3 months of tailored primary care rehabilitation. The primary outcome was Assessment of Motor and Process Skills, while secondary outcomes included cognitive measures and overall treatment efficacy.
resultsThe study was completed by 45 of 54 included patients. The primary outcome variable indicated that rehabilitation resulted in better maintenance of patient motor skills at 6 and 12 months. However, among several secondary measures, only perceived health improved more in the intervention group. Motor fluctuations improved in both groups and several other disease-specific scales demonstrated non-significant improvements. The rehabilitation group showed better cognitive performance at 12 months.
conclusionMotor skills and perceived health were improved by a 3-month rehabilitation period after the start of Device-Aided Therapy for advanced Parkinson's disease. An observed positive effect of rehabilitation on cognition in the first year after the therapy requires further confirmation.
