Review in Sports medicine and health science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07331714 (Comparative Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on Lower Limb Function in Patient With Stroke), which is not on this map.

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.

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

Neglecting the use of the affected limb in stroke patients can result in learned non-use. Modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) is a form of rehabilitation therapy that limits the less paretic side, and through repeated and concentrated training improve the upper limb function of the paretic side. The aim of this paper is to develop a critical systematic review on the research evidence evaluating the effectiveness of applying mCIMT in the recovery of upper limb function in stroke patients. The outcome of this evaluation support that mCIMT significantly improves the upper limb function of stroke patients. Moreover, group mCIMT modality and TR (trunk restraint)+mCIMT modality provide greater benefits than mCIMT alone.
