Robot Fully Assisted Upper-Limb Functional Movements Against Gravity to Drive Recovery in Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03208634 (La Riabilitazione Robot Assistita Del Paziente Neurologico), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
Background: Stroke is becoming more and more a disease of chronically disabled patients, and new approaches are needed for better outcomes. An intervention based on robot fully assisted upper-limb functional movements is presented. Objectives: To test the immediate and sustained effects of the intervention in reducing impairment in chronic stroke and to preliminarily verify the effects on activity. Methodology: Nineteen patients with mild-to-severe impairment underwent 12 40-min rehabilitation sessions, 3 per week, of robot-assisted reaching and hand-to-mouth movements. The primary outcome measure was the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) at T1, immediately after treatment ( Results: All patients were compliant with the treatment. There was improvement on the FMA with a mean difference with respect to the baseline of 6.2 points at T1, after intervention ( Conclusions: Motor benefits were observed immediately after intervention and at a 6-month follow-up. Reduced impairment would appear to translate to increased activity. Although preliminary, the results are encouraging and lay the foundation for future studies to confirm the findings and define the optimal dose-response curve.
