The influence of lateral stabilization on walking performance and balance control in neurologically-intact and post-stroke individuals.
Article in Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIndividuals post-stroke have an increased risk of falling, which can lead to injuries and reduced quality of life. This increased fall risk can be partially attributed to poorer balance control, which has been linked to altered post-stroke gait kinematics (e.g. an increased step width). The application of lateral stabilization to the pelvis reduces step width among neurologically-intact young and older adults, suggesting that lateral stabilization reduces the need for active frontal plane balance control. This study sought to determine if lateral stabilization is effective at improving common measures of gait performance and dynamic balance in neurologically-intact and post-stoke individuals who responded to the stabilization by reducing their step width.
methodsGait performance was assessed by foot placement and propulsion symmetry while dynamic balance was assessed by peak-to-peak range of frontal plane whole body angular momentum (H
findingsControls and post-stroke Responders who reduced their step width in response to stabilization also reduced their mediolateral pelvis sway, but did not exhibit changes in gait performance. Contrary to expectations, both groups exhibited an increased H
interpretationThese results suggest that a reduction in pelvis motion alone, as opposed to relative motion between the pelvis and upper body, may increase H
