Walking ability and functional status after post-acute care for stroke rehabilitation in different age groups: a prospective study based on propensity score matching.
Article in Aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05945966 (Effects of Bilateral Versus Unilateral Lower Limb Training on Balance and Gait Parameters in Stroke Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
Few studies have compared how rehabilitative post-acute care affects recovery of walking ability and other functions after stroke in different age groups. After propensity score matching (1:1), 316 stroke patients were separated into an aged group (age ≥65 years, n=158) and a non-aged group (age <65 years, n=158). Both groups significantly improved in Barthel index, EuroQol-5 dimension, Berg balance scale, 6-minute walking distance and 5-meter walking speed (
