Effect of constrained weight shift on the static balance and muscle activation of stroke patients.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of constrained weight shift induced by shoe lift beneath the unaffected lower extremity, on balance functions and electromyography of the affected lower extremity of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twelve patients with unilateral stroke were recruited as volunteers for this study. The subjects were repeatedly measured in a randomized order under three conditions: no-shoe lift, and shoe lifts of 5 mm and 10 mm heights beneath the unaffected lower extremity. [Results] Standing with a 10 mm shoe lift for the unaffected lower extremity decreased the mean velocity of mediolateral sway compared to no-shoe lift. Regarding the velocity of anteroposterior sway, standing with 5 mm and 10 mm shoe lifts decreased the mean velocity of anteroposterior sway. The muscle activation of the affected lower extremity was not significantly different among the no-shoe lift, 5 mm shoe lift and 10 mm shoe lift conditions; however, the muscle activities of the rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and medial gastrocnemius of the affected lower extremity progressively improved with increasing height of the shoe lift. [Conclusion] A constrained weight shift to the affected side elicited by a shoe insole of 10 mm height on the unaffected side can improve the static standing balance of stroke patients, and it resulted in 14-24% increases in the muscle activities of the affected leg.
