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] To investigate the effects of long-term body-weight-supported treadmill training on walking ability and physical function in an elderly individual with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury. [Participant and Methods] The patient was a 68 year-old male with an incomplete spinal cord injury at the C3/C4 level, incurred when he was 56 years old. He initiated home-based body-weight-supported treadmill training using a body-weight-supported treadmill installed at his home. His walking ability was measured as the percentage of body weight load reduction, and his physical function was evaluated using manual muscle testing and measuement of the range of motion of his lower limbs. [Results] The physical function of the lower limbs was improved, maintained, or showed delayed decline until 9.5 years post-injury. [Conclusion] Long-term body-weight-supported treadmill training may improve, maintain, or at least delay the decline of the physical function of participants for several years, without causing any remarkable complications.
