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

Aerobic exercise programs with proprioceptive sensory feedback elements such as split-belt treadmill training, perturbation treadmill training, and dynamic cycling improve function in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). However, these tools are expensive and not highly accessible. Speed-variable (SV) treadmill training utilizes small-amplitude treadmill belt speed fluctuations every 10-60 s, emulating aforementioned paradigms in a more-accessible design targeted toward home or gym settings. Fourteen PwPD (67.6 ± 6.5 years, 6 female) completed one 30-min session of SV training and one 30-min session of normal (N) non-speed-varied treadmill training in a counterbalanced design. Motor function was assessed pre- and postexercise with KinesiaONE inertial measurement unit validated for assessment of symptoms including tremor, bradykinesia, rhythm, and amplitude of movement. Heart rate (HR) did not differ significantly (
