1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Background: There has been rapid drift of rehabilitation professionals toward the clinical use of technology aided electrical interventions. Brain is a cortical hub of functionally related neural connections. Motor learning entails strong interaction with the cognitive domains. So better outcomes may be expected by optimally targeting functionally correlated areas simultaneously through tDCS. Aim: To determine the therapeutic effect of Multi Channel tDCS in combination with Functional electrical stimulation, SaeboFlex and conventional rehabilitation on recovery of Cognitive Domains, Motor Functions of Paretic Hand, and Gait in individuals with subacute Stroke. Methods: This is prospective, randomized, double blind controlled clinical trial. Subacute Stroke Survivors with the age Group (40-75 years) will constitute the Population of the study. Participants will be randomly allocated to experimental or control group. Participants of Experimental group will receive Multi channel tDCS, Functional electrical stimulation, Saebo Flex Training and conventional rehabilitation. Participants of the group B will receive FES, training with SaeboFlex, conventional physiotherapy intervention similar to as given to the participants of group A and sham multi channel tDCS. Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measures of the study will be Fugl Meyer assessment, Electroencephalogram and secondary outcome measures of the study will be Grip strength, Pinch strength, Nine hole peg test( NHPT), Wisconsin gait scale, Montreal cognitive assessment, Electroencephaloraphy to observe the cortical changes and tDCS adverse effect questionnaire and stroke specific quality of Life scale. Statistical Analysis: The primary analysis of the study will be done at the end of 4 weeks. Statistical analysis of data will be done using SPSS Version 22 with the help of a statistician. Conclusion: An insight into the therapeutic interventions augmenting, cognitive and motor domains simultaneously may yield better outcomes in the field of stroke rehabilitation thereby improving quality of life of stroke survivors.
