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.

2 · The registry

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

Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) complain of changes in body representation, potentially leading to negative physical and psychological consequences. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the effects of robotic training with the Ekso-GT on body representation (BR) and on the quality of life in patients with SCI. The trial was designed as a pilot, assessor-blinded study. Forty-two inpatients with a diagnosis of SCI, classified as either American Spinal Cord Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS), were enrolled in this study and randomized into either a control (CG:
