Additional Rehabilitative Robot-Assisted Gait Training for Ambulation in Geriatric Individuals with Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We present a case of a 75-year-old Asian woman with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) who underwent a 1-month comprehensive rehabilitation training program supplemented by robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). GBS can lead to fatigue and prolonged bed rest, thereby further debilitating older patients. Although exercise intervention is recommended for GBS, a consensus regarding the appropriate intensity has yet to be established. Individualized strategies are required because older patients experience varying levels of fatigue and frailty. We used a technological adjunct to support comprehensive rehabilitation for GBS reconditioning in an older patient. To the best of our knowledge, research involving the use of an exoskeleton robotic device in the geriatric population with GBS is limited. Our case demonstrates the feasibility and safety of RAGT for improving lower limb muscle power and scores on the Barthel Index, Clinical Frailty Scale, and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale at discharge from a geriatric ward.
