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

Background: Despite the importance of lower limb sensation in walking highlighted in systematic reviews, there is limited research investigating the effect of proprioceptive deficits after stroke and any relationship with walking ability. Objectives: With stroke survivors of different walking ability, this study aimed to (1) explore side (affected/unaffected) and movement direction (inversion/plantar flexion) effects in ankle joint position sense (JPS) acuity, and (2) compare ankle JPS acuity between groups of stroke survivors with different walking ability. Methods: Seventy subacute stroke survivors were recruited and divided into three groups based on walking ability, as determined by their gait speed on the 10-Meter Walking Test: household (<0.4 m/s), limited community (0.4-0.8 m/s) and community (>0.8 m/s). Ankle JPS acuity was measured by the active movement extent discrimination apparatus (AMEDA). Results: A significant difference was found between sides, with the AMEDA scores for the unaffected side significantly higher than for the affected side (F Conclusion: After stroke, ankle JPS acuity on the affected side was lower than the unaffected side. Stroke survivors had higher ankle JPS acuity in plantar-flexion movements, compared with inversion movements. Overall, stroke survivors with higher ankle JPS acuity tended to have higher walking ability, highlighting the importance of ankle JPS acuity in walking ability after stroke. These findings provide new insights into proprioceptive deficits after stroke and their relevance in neurorehabilitation.
