Effects of a Gait Training Program on Spinal Cord Injury Patients: A Single-Group Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionSpinal cord injury is defined as the pathological process produced by any etiology affecting the spinal cord, which may alter motor, sensory, and/or autonomic function below the level of the lesion. The complexity of the neurological deficit and, therefore, the resulting clinical picture depends on the level of the lesion, the extent, and the affectation of the white or gray substance. This injury can totally or partially affect the ability to walk, and its highest priority with respect to mobility is to restore the ability to walk. All of which make the improvement of the methods used in their rehabilitation a top priority for health systems.
objectiveThe main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a gait training program for patients with spinal cord injuries. MATERIAL AND
methodsA single-group, prospective cohort study was developed following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Guidelines (STROBE) at the International Center for Neurological Restoration of Siboney Playa (Havana, Cuba) from May 2020 to July 2021 with a sample of 30 patients by accidental or deliberate non-probabilistic sampling that met the expected inclusion criteria, who underwent a physical rehabilitation program for 8 weeks of work.
resultsStatistically significant changes were observed in the overall course, by sex, by topographic level of lesion, and by functional class.
conclusionsThe gait training program used produced significant changes in thoracic spinal cord injured patients regardless of the level of injury, sex, or functional class of the patient.
