Effects of robot exoskeletal-assisted gait training on gait ability in a pediatric patient with peripheral polyneuropathy: a case report.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 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
[Purpose] This study aims to investigate the effects of robotic exoskeleton-assisted gait training on a pediatric patient with peripheral polyneuropathy. [Participant and Methods] A 10-year-old boy with lower extremity weakness attributed to peripheral polyneuropathy underwent a two-week program comprising 10 rehabilitation sessions of powered robotic exoskeleton-assisted gait training (REGT). He was evaluated before and after treatment using the 10-meter walk test, 6-minute walk test, Berg Balance Scale, the Timed Up and Go Test, the Functional Reach Test, the Modified Functional Reach Test, hip and knee flexion/extension angles, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. [Results] The patient demonstrated improved gait speed, balance, joint mobility, cadence, the maximum oxygen consumption and metabolic equivalents after the REGT. [Conclusion] Robotic exoskeleton devices could provide additional benefits to pediatric patients with peripheral polyneuropathy, pending larger studies to confirm the significance of treatment.
