Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Improving Balance and Gait in a Case of Ganglio-Capsular Infarct: A Single-Case Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The ganglio-capsular region consists of the basal ganglia nuclei (caudate nucleus and lentiform nucleus), thalamus, and internal capsule. A disorder of the ganglio-capsular region typically presents with movement disturbance and cognitive impairment. This report presents the case of a 52-year-old male who was diagnosed with acute non-hemorrhagic infarct in the right parietal-occipital-temporal region predominantly involving the cortex and in the right ganglio-capsular region. The patient exhibited typical symptoms, which include impaired reflexes, decreased strength, reduced range of motion, and tone abnormalities. Targeted early physiotherapy intervention (TERI) was initiated from the bedside in the intensive care unit (ICU). Modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) along with conventional therapy was selected as the rehabilitation approach for the case as it deals with "forced use" of the affected extremities, which addresses "learned non-use." The case was managed for a duration of six weeks, in which clinical outcomes, including the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), 10-meter walk test (10MWT), functional reach test (FRT), dynamic gait index (DGI), trunk impairment scale (TIS), and fall efficacy test (FET), reported crucial changes in balance, strength, coordination, and tone, which improved the quality of life of the patient.
