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

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of balance training in addition to auxiliary activity on the balance function of patients with stroke at high risk for falls. Methods: A total of 112 patients with stroke at high risk for falls in our hospital from inception to January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects who were equally divided into the control group and study group according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group were intervened with auxiliary activity, and the patients in the study group received additional balance training for auxiliary activity. The balance function, lower extremity motor function, fall risk, walking ability, and other indicators were compared between the two groups of patients before and after treatment. The hospitalization time and the frequency of falls 3 months after discharge were also compared between the two groups. Results: Before treatment, there was no significant difference in balance function, lower extremity motor function, fall risk, and walking ability scores between the two groups ( Conclusion: Our results indeed revealed that balance training in addition to auxiliary activity elicited beneficial outcomes in terms of effectively improving the balance function and walking ability of patients with stroke at high risk of falling, which may have the potential for wide clinical application.
