Whole-Body Movements Increase Arm Use Outcomes of Wrist-Worn Accelerometers in Stroke Patients.
Observational study in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Wrist-worn accelerometers are often applied to measure arm use after stroke. They measure arm movements during all activities, including whole-body movements, such as walking. Whole-body movements may influence clinimetric properties of arm use measurements-however, this has not yet been examined. This study investigates to what extent arm use measurements with wrist-worn accelerometers are affected by whole-body movements. Assuming that arm movements during whole-body movements are non-functional, we quantify the effect of whole-body movements by comparing two methods: Arm use measured with wrist-worn accelerometers during all whole-body postures and movements (P&M method), and during sitting/standing only (sit/stand method). We have performed a longitudinal observational cohort study with measurements in 33 stroke patients during weeks 3, 12, and 26 poststroke. The P&M method shows higher daily paretic arm use outcomes than the sit/stand method (
