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

Background: Stroke patients often show postural instability. The patellar tendon reflex is a basic physical examination for stroke patients. This study aimed to explore the correlation between patellar tendon reflex grade and postural stability among stroke patients. Methods: A total of 37 elderly stroke patients, each with the same quadriceps muscle strength but different patellar tendon reflex levels, were tested on a force platform under eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) conditions. Parametric analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), and power spectral density (PSD) analysis were used in centre of pressure (COP) signal processing. The correlation between the results of measured data processing and the level of patellar tendon reflex was analysed. Results: All three parameters of COP (the length of the sway trajectory, the mean range of the sway trajectory in the mediolateral [ML] direction [ Significance: The strong correlation with EC may provide insights into clinic evaluation and treatment for rehabilitation or fall risks of stroke patients.
