Motor Impairment and Its Influence in Gait Velocity and Asymmetry in Community Ambulating Hemiplegic Individuals.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo determine the most important motor impairments that are predictors of gait velocity and spatiotemporal symmetrical ratio in patients with stroke.
designCross-sectional, descriptive analysis study.
settingHuman performance laboratory of the University of Santo Tomas.
participantsIndividuals with chronic stroke (N=55; 34 men, 21 women) who are community dwellers.
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresThe gait velocity and spatiotemporal symmetrical ratio (step length; step, stance, swing, single-leg support, and double-leg support stance times) was determined using Vicon motion capture. We also calculated motor impairment of the leg and foot using Brunnstrom's stages of motor recovery, evaluated muscle strength using the scoring system described by Collin and Wade, and assessed spasticity using by the modified Ashworth Scale.
resultsRegression analysis showed that plantarflexor strength is a predictor of gait velocity and all temporospatial symmetry ratio. Knee flexor and extensor strength are predictors in single-leg support time and double-leg support time symmetry ratio, respectively. On the other hand, hip adductor and quadriceps spasticity are predictors of swing time and step length symmetry ratio.
conclusionDifferent motor impairments are predictors of stroke gait abnormality. Interventions should be focused on these motor impairments to allow for optimal gait rehabilitation results.
