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 and Aims: The dual-task experimental paradigm is used to study the attentional demands of postural control. Postural control is impaired in poststroke patients, and dual-task balance studies address the visual needs of postural control in stroke patients. A nonlinear approach can help us understand the overall behavior of the dynamic system. Methods: A total of 20 chronic stroke patients and 20 healthy subjects with similar age, height, and weight participated in this study. The stability and complexity of postural control were assessed using linear and nonlinear methods. All data and parameters (center of pressure [COP] velocity, anteroposterior and mediolateral directions displacement, length of COP path, and phase plane) were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results: When postural control was examined based on linear analysis, the results showed that the main effect of the group was not significant, but the main impact of position was significant for all parameters of the COP variation ( Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the assessment of postural control and gait performance in poststroke patients, as well as the dual tasks they have to perform in daily life, is crucial for their independence in activities of daily living.
