The Use of Portable Devices for the Instrumental Assessment of Balance in Patients with Chronic Stroke: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundImproving balance remains a challenge in stroke rehabilitation. The technological development has allowed the design of more accessible and user-friendly systems for assessing postural control.
objectivesThe aim of this review was to analyze portable devices for the instrumental assessment of balance in patients with chronic stroke.
methodsPRISMA guidelines were used to carry out the systematic review. The literature search was restricted to articles written in English or Spanish published from 2013 to December 2022 in Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, PEDro, and CINAHL. Of the 309 search results, 229 unique references were reviewed after duplicates were removed. The PEDro scale was applied to evaluate the methodological quality of the included papers, and the degree of evidence and level of recommendation were determined through the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.
resultsA total of seven articles reporting on five different balance testing devices were included in this systematic review; they regarded BIORescue, a smartphone application, and the Biodex-BioSway Balance System for the evaluation of standing balance, and SwayStar Balance and Xsens ForceShoes™ for the evaluation of dynamic balance during walking.
conclusionsThe use of portable devices that assess balance in adult patients with chronic stroke is scarce.
