The effects of task-oriented mental practice on upper limb function and coordination in chronic stroke patients-Randomized controlled trial design.

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: This study is a randomized experimental design study conducted to investigate the effect of task-oriented mental practice (TOMP) on upper limb function and coordination in chronic stroke patients. Methods: A total of 34 chronic stroke patients participated in this study and were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) of 17 patients (TOMP) and a control group (CG) of 17 patients (task-oriented training). To measure the subject's upper extremity function and coordination, the results of Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) of motor function (U/E) and co-coordination ratio (CCR) values calculated from the measurements of the BTS FreeEMG 300 were used. Results: In the comparison before and after group intervention in terms of FMA, the EG showed significant changes in all items of FMA, but the CG showed significant changes only in the shoulder items ( Conclusion: It was confirmed that the TOMP applied in this study can have a positive effect on upper limb function and coordination in chronic stroke patients.
