Effects of body weight-support treadmill training on postural sway and gait independence in patients with chronic spinal cord injury.
Trial report in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02703883 (Effects of Body Weight-supported Treadmill Training on Center of Mass Control in Spinal Cord Injury, Measured With Inertial Sensors), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo examine the effects of a six-week body weight-support treadmill training (BWSTT) program on center-of-mass control and gait independence in chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) patients.
designDescriptive.
settingClinica Los Coihues. Neurorehabilitation center in Santiago, Chile.
participants17 chronic iSCI patients and 17 healthy subjects. OUTCOME MEASURES: An instrumented sway (ISway) test was performed before and after the implementation of a six-week BWSTT program. The standing balance of participants was measured by Normalized jerk (NJ) and root mean square (RMS). These values were used to assess the standing balance of participants, and were correlated with the scores obtained on the Walking Index Spinal Cord Injury (WISCI) II test.
resultsSignificant differences were found in standing balance (i.e., through NJ) after the BWSTT program (P = 0.016), but no significant differences were found in RMS values for postural sway (P = 0.693). None of the patients obtained improved WISCI II scores pre- vs. post-intervention.
conclusionWhile a BWSTT program can improve center-of-mass control in iSCI patients, no effects were recorded for gait independence.
