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

[Purpose] We report a case of stroke hemiplegia in which two types of step training affected gait parameters. [Participant and Methods] A 50-year-old man presented with right-sided hemiplegia caused by a left putaminal hemorrhage. Four months after the onset of asymmetric gait, he practiced stepping in the anterior-posterior directions on a 20-cm platform. Step training was conducted over three 5-day periods. Gait parameters were evaluated on the day following the completion of each training period. Data on the maximum walking speed, single- and double-leg support phases, and step length were collected. Furthermore, the symmetry ratio and trailing limb angle were calculated. [Results] Post-training improvements were noted in gait symmetry, and the trailing limb angle on the affected side improved after anterior-posterior step training. [Conclusion] Anterior-posterior step training may improve gait parameters following a hemiplegic stroke.
