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

STUDY

designBibliometric analysis.

objectiveThe study aims to comprehensively assess the literature related to gait rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) to identify significant contributors, and to explore the collaborations and emerging themes in the field.

methodsOriginal and review articles in English using relevant keywords were searched in the Clarivate Web of Science database. The data from the selected articles were imported into R software. Bibliometric indicators were assessed to determine author contributions, country affiliations, journal sources, and thematic trends.

resultsA total of 1313 relevant articles were identified. The USA, followed by Canada and Switzerland were the most prolific countries contributing to gait rehabilitation research in SCI. The most relevant journals were Spinal Cord, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, Journal of NeuroEngineering, and Journal of Neurotrauma. The highest contributions came from Northwestern University, the University of Miami, and the University of Alberta. The analysis revealed an increase in research interest in gait rehabilitation after 2000, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches and emerging technologies like robotics, exoskeletons, and neuromodulation.

conclusionThe analysis demonstrates the importance of collaborative and interdisciplinary research in gait rehabilitation. The results indicate a shift in research focus from traditional methods to the integration of technology. The impact of publications from the USA and Europe is a notable finding. The study highlights the growth of articles related to technology-driven approaches and understanding neuroplasticity in gait rehabilitation.
