Bilateral Lower Limb Training for Post-stroke Survivors: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Stroke is one of the most disabling conditions affecting the middle-aged population all around the world. This study aims to explore the rehabilitation of stroke patients using bibliometric analysis, which includes statistical analysis of recent articles, books, and other kinds of publications, to assess scientific output and determine the significance of scientific investigations in terms of both quality and quantity. In this study, an analysis of global trends in research in bilateral lower limb training for training balance and walking for patients in the subacute stage post-stroke between 1988 and 2021 was done. All the articles were obtained from PubMed databases. CiteSpace software was used to analyze the relationship between publications and country, journals, institutions, authors, references, and the keywords used. A total of 160 publications were included in the analysis. There was a tremendous increase in the research of physiotherapy intervention in patients who had residual disability post-stroke with a publication rate of 7.1 articles per year of publications. The use of the sophisticated PubMed database to extract articles allowed for a thorough and powerful bibliometric analysis of stroke rehabilitation research published between 1988 and 2020. In general, the number of studies on bilateral training has increased in recent decades. This historical overview of rehabilitation for post-stroke survivors will serve as a valuable starting point for future study into possible collaborators, focus issues, and trends. This bibliometric analysis highlights the potential value of exercise therapy for stroke survivors in creating more effective hemiplegia rehabilitation programs. This research may encourage the use of strengthening in the therapeutic therapy of hemiplegia balance. The groundwork will be laid for future research on strengthening stroke to be organized and given top priority.
