Respiratory training combined with core training improves lower limb function in patients with ischemic stroke.

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
objectiveTo analyze the effect of respiratory training combined with core training on lower limb function and quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke.
methodsData of 88 patients with hemiplegia after stroke admitted to Affiliated Sichuan Provincial Rehabilitation Hospital of Chengdu University of TCM from January 2019 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Quality of life and lower limb function were evaluated in the control group (conventional rehabilitation training, n = 40) and the research group (respiratory training combined with core stabilization training, n = 48) using Short Form-36 (SF-36) and with Wisconsin Gait Scale (WGS), respectively. According to the mean value of life quality after treatment, patients were divided into a low quality of life group and a high quality of life group. Logistics regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting patients' quality of life. Changes in pulmonary function parameters (including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)) were observed before and after treatment. Patients' balance ability was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS).
resultsCompared with the control group, the research group had evidently higher SF-36 score (P < 0.001), markedly lower WGS score (P < 0.001) and much better FEV1 and FVC (P < 0.001). After treatment, the BBS score of the research group increased evidently compared with that of the control group (P < 0.001). Logistics regression revealed that the duration of education, national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score at admission and rehabilitation program were independent risk factors affecting the quality of life of patients (P < 0.05).
conclusionBreathing training combined with core muscle training can effectively improve lower limb function and daily living activities in stroke patients. In addition, duration of education, NIHSS score at admission and rehabilitation program were identified as independent risk factors affecting the life quality of stroke patients.
