Effects of different acupuncture methods combined with routine rehabilitation on gait of stroke patients.
Trial report in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundStroke refers to a group of cerebrovascular diseases associated with organic brain injury. It is characterized by the sudden and rapid onset of focal or diffuse dysfunction. In recent years, in addition to routine treatment, Chinese medicine acupuncture has been administered to patients with hemiplegia, and it can be considered a new treatment for rehabilitation.
aimTo investigate the effects of eye acupuncture needle retention and body acupuncture combined with routine rehabilitation on gait performance and plantar pressure in patients recovering from stroke.
methodsThirty-two stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 16 patients in each group. Both groups underwent routine rehabilitation. The experimental group was treated by eye acupuncture needle retention, and the control group was treated by body acupuncture. Before and after 4 wk of treatment, both groups underwent kinematic and plantar pressure synchronous tests to assess gait performance.
resultsThe step length, gait speed, step frequency, joint angles of the lower limbs, and ground reaction force impulse in the anterior region of the affected foot in both groups significantly increased from before to after treatment (
conclusionEye acupuncture needle retention and body acupuncture combined with routine rehabilitation can effectively improve the gait performance of patients recovering from stroke. Between these two treatments, eye acupuncture needle retention combined with routine treatment is better than body acupuncture, and it can be considered a practical and effective clinical treatment.
