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
The purpose of this study was to determine whether activation of muscles in the paretic leg, particularly contributing to propulsion, and gait symmetry can be improved by applying a targeted resistance force to the pelvis in the backward direction during stance phase while walking in individuals post-stroke. Thirteen individuals post-stroke participated in two experimental sessions, which consisted of treadmill walking, with either targeted or constant resistances, together with overground walking. For the targeted condition, a resistance force was applied to the pelvis during the stance phase of the paretic leg. For the constant condition, the resistance force was applied throughout the whole gait cycle. Participants showed greater increase in medial hamstring muscle activity in the paretic leg and improved step length symmetry after the removal of targeted resistance force, compared to effects of a constant resistance force (P < 0.03). In addition, treadmill walking with the targeted resistance induced more symmetrical step length during overground walking 10 min after the treadmill walking, compared to the result of the constant resistance force (P = 0.01). Applying a targeted resistance force to the pelvis during the stance phase of the paretic leg may induce an enhanced use of the paretic leg and an improvement in gait symmetry in individuals post-stroke. These results provide evidence showing that applying a targeted resistance to the pelvis may induce a forced use of the paretic leg during walking.
