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

[Purpose] Treadmill-based interventions are widely utilized in rehabilitation due to their advantages of providing controlled environments and enabling individualized training. However, the differences between overground and treadmill walking during the subacute rehabilitation phase remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to compare gait parameters between treadmill walking at varying speeds and overground walking in a subacute rehabilitation setting. [Participants and Methods] A total of 42 inpatients with cerebrovascular and orthopedic conditions were recruited from a convalescent rehabilitation ward. Gait parameters were measured using the Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL) system during comfortable overground walking and treadmill walking at various speeds, including self-selected comfortable speeds and speeds matched to overground walking. Walking speed, stride length, cadence, and step width were calculated without markers and compared across conditions. [Results] The comfortable treadmill walking speed was significantly lower than the overground walking speed (mean [standard deviation]: 0.85 [0.23] m/s vs. 1.20 [0.20] m/s). Stride length was significantly shorter during treadmill walking at comfortable speeds compared to overground walking (0.86 [0.22] m vs. 1.21 [0.18] m), whereas step width was significantly wider (0.17 [0.04] m vs. 0.13 [0.03] m). [Conclusion] Maintaining cadence at reduced treadmill speeds promotes comfortable endurance training in subacute rehabilitation patients.
