Early robotic gait training after stroke (ERA Stroke): study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.
Article in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06430632 (Early Robotic Gait Training After Stroke), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundWalking impairment after stroke is associated with substantial limitations in functional independence, quality of life, and long-term survival. People in the subacute phase after stroke who are unable to walk are most likely to benefit the greatest from use of overground robotic gait training (RGT). This study will provide preliminary evidence regarding the clinical use and efficacy of RGT during the subacute phase of stroke recovery as well as observational findings associated with the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and cost of delivering RGT during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
methodsThis prospectively registered randomized controlled trial will enroll 54 patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation within six months of stroke. Admitted patients will be screened at admission to inpatient rehabilitation for eligibility. Consented patients will be randomized based on stroke severity to receive either RGT or usual care for 90 minutes per week of gait training intervention during inpatient rehabilitation length of stay. Patients will complete assessments on walking and health outcomes at admission and discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and at 1- and 3-month follow-up. Intent-to-treat and per protocol analysis will be performed to evaluate safety [rate of adverse events, visual analog scale, and treatment completion rate], walking function [gait speed via 10-Meter Walk Test, Functional Ambulation Category, gait endurance via 6-Minute Walk Test] and health outcomes [Modified Rankin Scale, Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement, Continuity Assessment Record and Evaluation Tool, 5 Times Sit-to-Stand Test, Berg Balance Scale, and Stroke Impact Scale-16], and cost-analysis. DISCUSSION: This study will provide foundational evidence regarding the clinical use and efficacy of a RGT program during the subacute phase of stroke recovery with specific findings associated with the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and cost-analysis of delivering RGT during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
