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

backgroundSitting up and rising are basic daily activities that can become seriously impaired due to a stroke. This dysfunction can be a reason for limiting the ability to perform other daily activities. The aim of the study was to conduct functional and kinematic estimation of abnormalities of sitting down and getting up in people after a stroke.

methodsTwenty-nine patients after stroke (mean age: 52.9 ± 7.8) and 29 healthy volunteers (mean age: 50.9 ± 7.4) were included in this study. The wireless sensors and functional tests, such as the 30-s Chair Stand Test (30CST) and The Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST), were used to assess functionally and kinematically of the movement of getting up and sitting down. The force platform was used to assess the symmetry index (SI).

resultsA significantly higher mean square error (MSE) was observed in the paretic limb compared to the control limb (p = 0.037) during sitting on a chair. A lower average angular velocity of the knee joint of the paretic limb compared to the non-paretic limb (p = 0.027) was observed while getting up from a chair. Stroke survivors needed more time to perform the FTSST test (p < 0.001) and performed fewer repetitions of getting up and sitting down in the 30CST test (p < 0.001) than healthy volunteers. Compared to the control group, more significant limb load asymmetry in the standing position was observed in the study group (p < 0.001).

conclusionsThe differences detected between stroke patients with hemiparesis and healthy individuals in the results of kinematic and functional tests allow for the direction of lower limb therapy in patients in the early period of post-stroke rehabilitation.
