New design of home-based dynamic hand splint for hemiplegic hands: a preliminary study.
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. It is linked to trial NCT06979934 (The Effect of 3D Printing Functional Splints on Hand Function for Patients With Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
[Purpose] Hemiplegia following a stroke can affect hand movement; therefore, reconstructing hand function is the most desired outcome for stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the application of rehabilitation through the use of a dynamic hand splint and observes its effects on the muscle strength and functional activity of the affected hands. [Subjects and Methods] Chronic stroke patients who underwent a 3-month conventional rehabilitation using the dynamic hand splint were recruited . Evaluations (e.g., electromyography, grip and finger strength appraisals, and Fugl-Meyer assessment) were conducted before the test, and after the 1 and 3 month's intervention. The hemiplegic hands intermediately and after the treatment to assess improvement in hand-muscle strength and functional increase of the hand movements were evaluated. Patient response to use of the dynamic hand splint was assessed using a satisfaction scale after treatment. [Results] The results for maximal voluntary contraction of the extensor and flexor muscles and wrist and finger strength showed a statistically significant increase from the pretest to after 1 and 3 month's intervention. [Conclusion] Wearing a dynamic hand splint for home-use as a supplementary training program in addition to hospital-based rehabilitation can effectively increase the muscle strength of hemiplegic hands.
