Overground walking with a constraint force on the nonparetic leg during swing improves weight shift toward the paretic side in people after 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
Targeting enhancing the use of the paretic leg during locomotor practice might improve motor function of the paretic leg. The purpose of this study was to determine whether application of constraint force to the nonparetic leg in the posterior direction during overground walking would enhance the use of the paretic leg in people with chronic stroke. Fifteen individuals after stroke participated in two experimental conditions, i.e., overground walking with a constraint force applied to the nonparetic leg and overground walking only. Each participant was tested in the following procedures that consisted of overground walking with either constraint force or no constraint force, instrumented split-belt treadmill walking, and pressure-sensitive gait mat walking before and after the overground walking. Overground walking practice with constraint force resulted in greater enhancement in lateral weight shift toward the paretic side (
