The Clinical Variables Predicting the Acquisition of Independent Ambulation in the Acute Phase of Stroke: A Retrospective Study.

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
backgroundPredictive factors associated with independent ambulation post-stroke are less commonly reported for patients during the acute phase of stroke. This study aimed to identify the clinical variables predicting ambulation independence in the acute phase of stroke and test the superiority of their prediction accuracy.
methodsSixty-nine patients, hospitalized in the acute phase for an initial unilateral, supratentorial stroke lesion, were divided into independent (
resultsThe scores of the four measures were significantly different between the groups. A univariate logistic regression analysis identified these variables as prognostic factors for independent ambulation. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified the cutoff values (area under the curve) for the mRS, SIAS, FIM, and ABMS2 as 3 (0.74), 12 (0.73), 55 (0.85), and 23 (0.84), respectively.
conclusionIn summary, the FIM and ABMS2 may be more accurate in predicting ambulation independence in patients with stroke during the acute phase.
