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

[Purpose] This study aimed to compare the effects of horizontal-vibration with those of vertical-vibration training on the balance and gait of patients with stroke. [Subjects and Methods] A sample population of 20 subjects was randomly divided into 2 groups: the horizontal-vibration group and the vertical-vibration group. We evaluated the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test results, and 10-meter Walk Test (10MWT) results at 3 times points: before the training, 3 weeks after the training, and 6 weeks after the training. [Results] The BBS score, TUG test result, and 10MWT result differed significantly among the subjects in the vertical-vibration group. However, only the BBS score differed significantly among the subjects in the horizontal-vibration group. [Conclusion] The vibration training used in this study heightened the activity of the trunk muscles and improved balance ability of the patients. In particular, we recommend the vertical-vibration training because dynamic movements such as gait improved the balance ability through activation of the trunk stabilizer muscles.
