Speed but Not Smoothness of Gait Reacts to Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis.
Article in Multiple sclerosis international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05385731 (MUSCLE - Nordic and Free Walking in People With Multiple Sclerosis), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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
introductionImproved gait is one of the leading therapy goals in multiple sclerosis. A plethora of clinical timed trials and state-of-the-art technology-based approaches are available to assess gait performance.
objectivesTo examine what aspects of gait react to inpatient rehabilitation in MS and which parameters should be best assessed.
designIn this longitudinal study, we examined the performance of 76 patients with MS to shed further light on factors influencing gait, associations between tests, and the reaction to inpatient rehabilitation during an average time span of 16 d.
resultsAll gait parameters were strongly intercorrelated (all
conclusionsSince we were not able to observe improvements in smoothness of gait, we conclude that rehabilitation programs should be adapted to the patient's physiological capacities in order to allow for such improvements in smoothness of gait. Externally valid gait capacity (6MWT) could be predicted by a single walk for 10 s at natural pace.
