Neural correlates of walking post-stroke: neuroimaging insights from the past decade.
Review in Experimental brain research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Walking dysfunction such as slow walking speed and reduced independent mobility are common impairments following stroke. Neural mechanisms of upper limb impairment and motor recovery have been highly studied, while less is known about the neural correlates of walking dysfunction and rehabilitation after stroke. Our objective was to review the literature on neuroimaging correlates of walking and walking recovery post-stroke to provide a more comprehensive picture of neurological regions of interest. We searched the databases PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Trials for articles published in English between January 1, 2010 and November 30, 2020 that assessed walking after stroke through neuroimaging and various clinical measures. The following key words were used: stroke, gait, walking, rehabilitation, brain mapping, neuroimaging, neural control of walking, motor recovery and motor function, and resulted in eighteen articles included in this review. These articles revealed regions of interest associated with lower extremity impairment and walking post-stroke to include the putamen, caudate, insula, pallidum, superior temporal gyrus, internal capsule, superior longitudinal fasciculus, corticospinal tract, corona radiata, and white matter associated with the pedunculopontine nucleus. This information strengthens our understanding of supraspinal control of walking post-stroke. However, future research on lesion location, functional and structural connectivity, and walking deficits is needed to confidently associate specific brain regions and white matter tracts/connectivity with specific impairments. Greater insight into neuromechanisms associated with response to neurorehabilitation post-stroke could improve treatment selection and prediction of motor recovery.
