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: Exercise therapy is recognized as a crucial method that can markedly improve outcomes for individuals with Parkinson's Disease. Research on exercise therapy and Parkinson's Disease is steadily increasing; however, a bibliometric analysis in this field is currently lacking. This study applies bibliometric methods to identify trends and hotspots in research related to Parkinson's Disease and exercise therapy. Methods: Data collection comprised articles relevant to Parkinson's Disease and exercise therapy, which were sourced from the Web of Science core collection for the period between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2024. The collected literature was subsequently analyzed using a suite of bibliometric tools, including Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. Additionally, text mining was carried out via Coremine to identify significant correlations among key terms within this research domain. Results: The volume of articles on Parkinson's Disease and exercise therapy has increased yearly, with a notable surge after 2019. The top three countries contributing to this volume are the United States, Italy, and China. The leading institutions in publication output are Radboud University Nijmegen, the University of Sydney, and Northwestern University. The 10 most frequent keywords include Parkinson's Disease, exercise, rehabilitation, people, gait, balance, quality of life, physical therapy, therapy, and motor. Keywords such as telemedicine, telehealth, neurodegeneration, telerehabilitation, and wearable sensors represent current hotspots in this area of research. Conclusion: This study utilizes bibliometric techniques to perform an objective, quantitative assessment of the literature pertaining to Parkinson's Disease and exercise therapy. It outlines the current research landscape, pinpoints emerging hotspots, and addresses prevailing challenges, thereby offering valuable insights to guide and improve the focus and efficacy of subsequent studies.
