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

backgroundPatients with stroke frequently experience walking dysfunction. Core training can help improve balance and walking function in patients with stroke. However, core training movements in clinical practice are numerous and differently targeted. Therefore, this study will investigate the improvement of walking function in patients with combined diaphragmatic breathing maneuver (DBM) and draw-in breathing technique (ADIM) training.

methodsThis single-blind, randomized controlled preliminary will analyze the viability of DBM combined ADIM training versus routine rehabilitation therapy in patients with stroke with early to mid-stroke. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the DBM and ADIM training or the routine rehabilitation training. We will recruit 42 stroke inpatients from the Second Rehabilitation Hospital of Shanghai who meet the trial criteria and measure the balance and walking functions and improvement of that after 4 weeks of intervention. The primary outcome is the 10 m maximum walking test (10MWT). The secondary outcomes indices include the limits of stability test (LOS), Berg balance scale test (BBS), Functional Ambulation Categories test (FAC), Timed Up and Go test (TUG), trunk impairment scale test (TIS), ultrasound indicators of the diaphragm and transversus abdominis (UI), rhythmic weight shift test (RWS), walk across test (WA), Fugl-Meyer assessment of lower extremity (FMA-LE), and Barthel index of ADL test. DISCUSSION: The primary objective of this project was to investigate the effects of DBM combined with ADIM on balance capacity and walking function for patients with early to mid-stroke. The outcomes of this study will hold significant implications for future clinical applications in rehabilitation.
