The Effect of Whole Body Vibration Treatment on Upper Extremity Functions Compromised by Stroke.
Article in Noro psikiyatri arsivi, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionIn patients with neurological disorders Whole Body Vibration (WBV) has been reported to improve motor function. Our aim was to assess the effects of WBV on upper extremity function in adult stroke patients.
methodsForty-three post-stroke patients were randomly assigned to two groups: treatment group and control group. The demographic characteristics and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) were recorded in all patients. The plegic upper extremity range of motions (ROM) and motor functions were evaluated by goniometric measurement and Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT). All patients participated in a conventional rehabilitation program for three weeks while the treatment group also received WBV over the same period. All evaluations were performed before and after therapy.
resultsThe median (range) age of all patients was 51.0±13.7 (18-66) years. The groups numbered 26 and 17 patients for the treatment and control groups respectively. No significant differences were found between the two groups in the pre-treatment evaluation based on the JTHFT all scores (p>0.05). Significant improvement was found in the elbow extension ROM degree (p=0.019) for the treatment group. A statistically significant improvement was observed in all parameters of JTHFT in the treatment group after the intervention, whereas only page turning, removing small objects, removing large light objects and removing large heavy objects showed a statistically significant improvement in controls (p<0.05).
conclusionStatistically significant differences were observed between the treatment and control groups after intervention. WBV treatment is effective for the improvement of ROM and upper extremity functions in stroke patients.
