Psychosocial determinants of exercise behavior in Parkinson's disease: a mini-review.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 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
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive motor and non-motor symptoms that profoundly impact quality of life. Physical exercise has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention with neuroprotective potential, yet adherence rates remain suboptimal. This mini-review synthesizes current evidence on psychosocial determinants influencing exercise behavior in PD patients. Accumulating evidence suggests that psychosocial factors play an important role on exercise engagement, such as self-efficacy, social support, depression, apathy, perceived control, coping, and psychological resilience. Self-efficacy emerges as the most robust predictor across studies. Individuals who reported high exercise self-efficacy were more likely to engage in regular exercise regardless of disease severity. Social support from family, peers, and healthcare professionals could enhance the motivation, accountability, and adherence of exercise behavior. Depression and apathy significantly undermine exercise participation. Higher perceived control, active coping, and higher psychological resilience are associated with greater exercise engagement. This mini-review critically evaluated the evidence for these key psychosocial determinants in PD patients and proposed a clinically-informed framework for integrating psychosocial strategies into exercise promotion.
