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
Stroke is a disease with high mortality and morbidity that not only causes weakness in the extremities, loss of balance, and disturbances in trunk and postural control, but also affects respiratory function. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between trunk and postural control and pulmonary function in subacute stroke patients. Herein, 32 volunteer patients who were diagnosed with hemiplegia by a competent physician after unilateral hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke and who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. Functional independence of the participants was evaluated using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and their cognitive function was assessed with the Standardized Mini Mental State Examination. Respiratory function was evaluated with spirometric measurements, inspiratory muscle strength was evaluated with intraoral pressure measurements, trunk control was evaluated using the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), postural control was evaluated using the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS-T), computerized postural sway evaluation, and static posture analysis. A significant correlation was found between the TIS scores and inspiratory muscle strength (p < 0.05). A significant correlation was also found between the PASS-T scores and inspiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function (p < 0.05). All of the COP parameters measured were significantly correlated with the PEF(L/s) and FEF
