Effect of Dual-Task Training on the Number of EEG Bands in Stroke Patients.
Article in Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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/
objectiveDual-task training (DTT) positively impacts stroke recovery, but its effects on electroencephalography (EEG) using Fourier series analysis are under-researched. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of DTT on EEG in stroke patients by analyzing different EEG bands with fast Fourier transform (FFT).
methodsFive participants with unilateral ischemic stroke completed 12 sessions of 15-min DTT, three times a week for 4 weeks. EEG data were recorded before and after the intervention, and FFT analysis was conducted. Assessments of upper limb function, elbow flexor muscle tone, and daily living activities were also performed.
resultsFFT analysis showed a reduction in delta, theta, alpha, and beta bands post-DTT, while their correlation between measurement times remained consistent. These changes were somewhat reflected in the participants' improved clinical outcomes.
conclusionThe results suggest that DTT positively affects EEG band frequencies, with a consistent correlation between pre- and post-intervention measurements. This indicates that FFT analysis could be a useful tool for assessing DTT's impact on stroke recovery.
