The impact of proprioception impairment on gait function in stroke survivors: a comprehensive review.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Stroke survivors often experience sensory, cognitive, and motor consequences with gait disorders as a common problem. Therefore, there is a need for a deeper understanding of how neurological deficits affect the functioning of patients after a stroke. Current scientific literature lacks research on proprioception impairment, and gait recovery after stroke. In this narrative review, we discussed and summarized the current knowledge about the abnormal post-stroke gait pattern, the role of proprioception in motor control, methods of proprioception assessment, and the association between abnormal gait and proprioception deficit in stroke survivors. The present findings must be interpreted with some caution as current evidence is limited, as well as the correlation does not imply causation and might be underestimated by attributes of current tests for proprioception and motor function. Further studies are needed to better explain the mechanisms behind proprioception deficits and their association with functional recovery, as well as to investigate the cause-effect relationship.
