Effectiveness of locomotion training in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective clinical trial.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
[Purpose] The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of locomotion training on physical function and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and identify factors associated with its effectiveness. [Participants and Methods] Data were obtained from 103 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who underwent locomotion training for 6 months using the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index, pain visual analog scale, 10-meter walking speed, timed up-and-go test, single-leg standing time, grip strength, 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale, Short Form-8, fat-free mass index, and fat mass index. [Results] A significant improvement in the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index, pain visual analog scale score, maximum 10-meter walking speed, timed up-and-go test, single-leg standing time, grip strength, and physical component summary in Short Form-8 was observed at six months. [Conclusion] The current study demonstrated that locomotion training for 6 months improved physical function, certain aspects of quality of life, and sarcopenia in patients with RA. We believe that locomotion training should be recommended as a non-pharmacological therapeutic option for improving physical function in patients with RA.
