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

This case report describes a woman in her fifties who experienced a left-sided atherothrombotic cerebral infarction with lesions in the left corona radiata. The patient exhibited motor paralysis of the right upper and lower limbs. After a 10-day acute hospital stay, she was admitted to a rehabilitation facility for an intensive program of physical, occupational, and speech therapy. By day 17 of the onset, she had achieved independence by walking with a cane. This case was documented to study the effects of gait training with non-paretic knee immobilization on muscle activity and trunk kinematics in post-stroke hemiplegia. Traditional physical therapy was used initially, followed by an intervention phase in which gait training was performed with the non-paretic knee immobilized. This approach was hypothesized to induce beneficial kinematic and muscle activity changes in the paretic limb. The results showed increased muscle activity in the paretic lateral gastrocnemius without compromising trunk stability, suggesting that this method may improve rehabilitation outcomes in similar cases.
