Multidimensional evaluation of the clinical efficacy and potential mechanisms of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of stroke: a study based on multiple evaluation indicators.
Article 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 2 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: This study aims to explore the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training on stroke patients. Methods: A total of 120 stroke patients were randomly divided into a control group (Group A), a rehabilitation training group (Group B), and an acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group (Group C), with 40 patients in each group. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) for neurological deficit, the Barthel Index for activities of daily living ability were evaluated before treatment, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment. Additionally, the levels of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and inflammatory factors (IL-6, TNF-α) were detected. Results: The acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group (Group C) was significantly superior to the other two groups (Group A and Group B) in improving neurological function, activities of daily living ability, and regulating serum factor levels. Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training is an effective treatment regimen for stroke, providing a theoretical and practical basis for clinical application.
