Targeting effect on gait parameters in healthy individuals and post-stroke hemiparetic individuals.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation and assistive technologies engineering. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundA targeting effect may occur in any gait analysis trial where the participant is instructed to step in a particular area or a clearly marked target is in their path. The targeting effect may affect the gait parameters and any variability being studied in regard to the participants. There are few studies examining this effect for healthy subjects and none for special populations.
methodsThis study aimed to investigate if any targeting effects occurred in healthy and stroke-survivor populations. Eight male participants were recruited, four of whom exhibited right-hand side hemiparesis resulting from stroke. Each participant performed a series of gait trials at a comfortable walking pace after being made aware of the force plate in the centre of the walkway. The participants gait was then analysed and compared before and after the target force plate.
resultsThe results of the trials showed significant variations (
conclusionsThe effects were similar in both groups with the step speed and length being slower and shorter for the targeting step compared to the step after the force plate.
