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

[Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the improvement in lower extremity hemiplegia following brain tumor operation with an integrated volitional control electrical stimulator (IVES). [Participant and Methods] A 40 year-old male with anaplasic oligodendroglioma in the right frontal lobe underwent IVES in the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior muscles using the power-assist and sensor-trigger modes. Lower extremity motor function was assessed before and after the therapy sessions. An assessment was conducted using various techniques, including static posturography and surface electromyography. [Results] Static posturography showed an improvement in the center of pressure and sway area after IVES gait training. Based on a time-series statistical parametric mapping analysis, the activation pattern of each muscle after the treatment was different. Muscle synergy analysis revealed decreased total variance accounted for by a single synergy in the affected and normal sides after the treatment. [Conclusion] Patients with chronic hemiplegic lower extremity impairment responded well to IVES gait training. Electromyography-triggered functional electrical stimulation may enhance sensory-motor integration. Proprioceptive feedback plays a crucial role in improving motor control.
