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

Robot-assisted rehabilitation is becoming an important option in rehabilitation medicine. We utilized one such device, the elbow joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL), for a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The patient was a 64-year-old man, 16 months post-onset of GBS. Due to severe neuropathy, he was completely dependent on others and unable to eat independently. After approximately two weeks of intensive rehabilitation and self-training following his hospital discharge, he regained the ability to feed himself. This report highlights the effectiveness of HAL in the chronic phase of GBS.
