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: The application of dual-task walking paradigms for gait assessment in stroke patients is critical, where varying concurrent tasks may elicit distinct gait patterns of dual-task interference. This study assessed the acute effects of different types of dual tasks on gait in stroke patients during task performance, informing occupational, and physical therapists about care recommendations to prevent patients from falling and improve their balance function in daily life. Methods: A total of 19 stroke patients (52.7 ± 6.9 years old) performed the walking-only and dual-task walking (motor, arithmetic and speech) task test while a 3D motion capture system measured the gait parameters (the gait spatial-temporal parameters, sagittal angle of lower-limb joints, gait parameter variability and dual-task cost). One-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to test the effects of the above four walking conditions on gait parameters. Results: Arithmetic task and speech task interference can affect the gait of stroke patients ( Conclusion: Both arithmetic and speech tasks have a great impact on gait in stroke patients. Faced with cognitive interference, stroke patients spontaneously adopted a "cautious gait" walking pattern. In future rehabilitation training, diversity of task types is critical for gait rehabilitation training based on the walking ability of the patients.
