Effects of Whole-Body Vibration on Upper Extremity Function and Grip Strength in Patients with Subacute Stroke: A Randomised Single-Blind Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Occupational therapy international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06126978 (The Effect of Vibration Therapy and Mirror Therapy on Upper Limb Function in Patients With Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundWhole-body vibration has been used to improve motor function in chronic stroke patients, but its effect on patients with subacute strokes remains unclear.
objectivesWe explored the effect of whole-body vibration on patients with subacute strokes.
methodsParticipants were randomly allocated to a whole-body vibration (WBV) group (
resultsThe manual function test (MFT) score and grip strength improved after both WBV (
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the use of WBV and ULC was effective as remedial treatments for improving upper extremity motor function and increasing grip strength for patients with subacute strokes. The improvement was more pronounced for the WBV treatment. This trial is registered with KCT0003246.
