Ankle Proprioception Deficit Is the Strongest Factor Predicting Balance Impairment in Patients With Chronic Stroke.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
objectiveTo determine the main factor that predicts balance impairment in patients with chronic stroke.
designCross-sectional study.
settingInpatient rehabilitation hospital and research laboratory.
participantsA total of 57 patients (42 men, 15 women; mean age 55.7±12.2 years) with chronic symptoms after stroke.
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresPrimary outcomes were ankle functions, including strength, range of motion, and proprioception, and balance, including Berg Balance Scale score and Timed Up and Go test values. Secondary outcomes included gait kinematics, Fugl-Meyer Scale score, and Fall Efficacy Scale score.
resultsAccording to the cutoff score <46 on the Berg Balance Scale and the Timed Up and Go test ≥13.5 seconds, 21 patients were classified as having a balance impairment (36.8%). Multivariable logistic regressions showed that ankle proprioception (odds ratio = 3.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.17-10.42) was a significant predictor when coupled with step length (odds ratio = 0.00; 95% confidence interval, 0.00-0.22). A cutoff score of 2.59 for the ankle proprioception value predicts balance impairment in patients with stroke (area under the curve 0.784).
conclusionAnkle proprioception can be used to predict balance impairment in patients with stroke.
