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
BACKGROUND TheraSling therapy (TST) is a kind of rehabilitation therapy for patients with stroke in order to improving neural function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of TST combined with neuromuscular facilitation technique on hemiplegic gait in patients with stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-six patients with abnormal gait after stroke were recruited for this study and assigned randomly to either the control group (n=28) or the TST experiment group (n=28). Patients in the 2 groups all received neuromuscular facilitation technique treatment. In addition, patients in the TST experiment group were received TST. Treatments were 45 minutes a day for 6 weeks. RESULTS The functional ambulation category (FAC) score, improved Barthel index, Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), Berg balance scale (BBS), and 10 meters walking time and step length were significantly improve in both the TST experiment group and the control group after 6 weeks of treatment with a statistical difference (P<0.05). And the aforementioned indices in the TST experiment group after treatment were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Lower extremity motor function and quality of life were significantly improved by TST combined with neuromuscular facilitation technique. However, the study had a small sample size, thus, further multicenter well-designed prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm our findings.
