Gait quality after robot therapy compared with physiotherapy in the patient with incomplete spinal cord injured: A systematic review.
Review in eNeurologicalSci, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Spinal cord injury results in the interruption of neuronal conduction in the spinal cord, a condition that occurs in 0.1% of the world's population. This results in severe limitations in autonomy including locomotor function. Its recovery can be pursued through conventional isolated physiotherapeutic rehabilitation (overground walking training - OGT) or associated with Robot-assisted gait training - RAGT ( Aim: The aim of this review is to compare the effectiveness of RAGT combined with conventional physiotherapy. Methods: The databases consulted, from March 2022 to November 2022, were PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Cochrane Library) and CINAHL. RCT studies of people with incomplete spinal cord injuries treated with RAGT and/or OGT with the aim of improving walking were analysed. Results: Among the 84 RCTs identified, 4 were included in the synthesis, with a total of 258 participants. The outcomes analysed concerned both locomotor function through lower limb muscle strength and the need for assistance in walking, using the WISCI-II scale and the LEMS. Robotic treatment stimulated the greatest improvements in the four studies; however, they were not always statistically significant. Conclusion: A rehabilitation protocol combining RAGT with conventional physiotherapy is more effective than isolated OGT in improving ambulation in the subacute phase.
