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

To facilitate the selection of an optimal therapy for a stroke patient with upper extremity hemiparesis, we propose a cortico-basal ganglia model capable of performing reaching tasks under normal and stroke conditions. The model contains two hemispherical systems, each organized into an outer sensory-motor cortical loop and an inner basal ganglia (BG) loop, controlling their respective hands. The model is trained to simulate two therapeutic approaches: the constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) in which the intact is arrested, and Bimanual Reaching in which the movements of the intact arm are found to aid the affected arm. Which of these apparently mutually conflicting approaches is right for a given patient? Based on our study on the effect of lesion size on arm performance, we hypothesize that the choice of the therapy depends on the lesion size. Whereas bimanual reaching is more suitable for smaller lesion size, CIMT is preferred in case of larger lesion sizes. By virtue of the model's ability to capture the experimental results effectively, we believe that it can serve as a benchmark for the development and testing of various rehabilitation strategies for stroke.
