Efficacy and Safety Study of Wearable Cyborg HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) in Hemiplegic Patients With Acute Stroke (EARLY GAIT Study): Protocols for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We hypothesized that gait treatment with a wearable cyborg Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) would improve the walking ability of patients with hemiparesis after stroke. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gait treatment using HAL versus conventional gait training (CGT) in hemiplegic patients with acute stroke and establish a protocol for doctor-initiated clinical trials for acute stroke. We will enroll patients with acute stroke at the University of Tsukuba Hospital. This study is a single-center, randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial (HAL group,
