Trial report in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02960178 (Assessment and Training of Reactive Stepping in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.

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.

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

objectiveTo evaluate test-retest reliability, agreement, and convergent validity of the Lean-and-Release test for the assessment of reactive stepping among individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury or disease (iSCI/D).

designMulti-center cross-sectional multiple test design.

settingSCI/D rehabilitation hospital and biomechanics laboratory.

participantsIndividuals with motor incomplete SCI/D (iSCI/D).

interventionsNone. OUTCOME MEASURES: Twenty-six participants attended two sessions to complete the Lean-and-Release test and a battery of clinical tests. Behavioral (

resultsThe behavioral responses were reliable for the Lean-and-Release test (ICC = 0.76), but foot contact was the only reliable temporal parameter using data from a single site (ICC = 0.79). All variables showed agreement according to the Bland-Altman plots. The behavioral responses correlated with scores of lower extremity strength (0.54, P<0.01) and balance confidence (0.55, P < 0.01). Swing time of reactive stepping correlated with step time (0.73, P < 0.01) and cadence (-0.73 P < 0.01) of over ground walking.

conclusionsThe behavioral response of the Lean-and-Release test is a reliable and valid measure for people with iSCI/D. Our findings support the use of the behavioral responses to evaluate reactive stepping for research and clinical purposes.
