Effects of Task-related Trunk Training with Sensory Electrical Stimulation on Sitting Balance in Stroke Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of sensory electrical stimulation (SES) and task-related trunk training (TRTT) interventions on sitting postural control in stroke survivors. Methods: Acute to subacute stroke survivors were screened and recruited for this study. Patients were randomly assigned to the SES group, receiving TRTT combined with simultaneous SES of the neck and lumbar muscles, or to the sham group, receiving TRTT combined with sham stimulation. The primary outcome of the sitting task assessment was the joint angles of the neck and trunk. The outcome was measured at three time points (baseline; online effect: 10 min after the intervention started while the intervention continued; and after-effect: immediately after the intervention). Results: In total, 26 patients were divided into the SES (n=13) and sham (n=13) groups. The SES group showed a significant increase in the trunk joint angle for the online effect (P=0.03) and the after-effect (P=0.01) when compared with those measured at baseline. Conclusions: TRTT combined with simultaneous SES of the neck and lumbar muscles can immediately change the trunk angle during a sitting balancing task.
