Effect of Digital Treadmill on Lower Limb Motor Function in Patients with Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: To observe the effect of digital treadmill on lower limb motor function in patients with ischemic stroke. Method: This was a clinical comparative study. A total of 60 patients with ischemic stroke at Hebei University Hospital were selected from October 2020 to September 2022 and randomly divided observation group and control group. The control group was given conventional rehabilitation therapy, with the observation group receiving digital treadmill training. Both groups were assessed using the Holden Functional Ambulation Category Scale(FAC), digital treadmill gait analysis system, and dynamic balance instrument and after four weeks, followed by a statistical analysis. Result: After four weeks of treatment, both groups showed an improved in FAC grading, gait spatiotemporal parameters (including step speed, step length, stance time and step height), gait kinematic parameters (including hip joint flexion and extension mobility, knee joint flexion and extension mobility, and active ankle dorsiflexion ability) and balance assessment parameters (including motion trajectory area and motion trajectory perimeter) compared to pre-treatment (p< 0.05). Additionally, the gait symmetry parameters, including step length deviation and step height deviation, in the observation group were significantly lower than pre-treatment (p< 0.05), while in the control group, without statistically significant differences(p>0.05). Furthermore, the inter-group comparisons showed significant improvements of all the parameters studied above in the observation group compared to the control group (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Digital treadmill training may effectively improve gait parameters, gait symmetry, walking and balance ability of patients with ischemic stroke.
