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 previously reported that a combination of stepping and functional electrical stimulation on a dynamic tilt table with robotic leg movement improved walking speed in patients with stroke. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a single bilateral lower limb exercise session using a dynamic tilt table with robotic leg movement without functional electrical stimulation on walking speed in patients with chronic stroke. [Participants and Methods] Ten patients with chronic stroke who were capable of walking independently (73 ± 44 months post stroke onset) were included. The participants performed passive lower extremity walking for 10 minutes in a standing position on the dynamic tilt table with robotic leg movement. The effects of the intervention on walking speed, cadence, and Modified Ashworth Scale score for the quadriceps muscle on the paralyzed side were assessed using the 10-meter walking test. [Results] The 10-minute intervention significantly increased the walking speed (baseline: 0.49 ± 0.17 m/sec, after: 0.56 ± 0.23 m/sec) and cadence (baseline: 96 ± 22 steps/min, after: 99 ± 24 steps/min); however, it had no effect on the Modified Ashworth Scale score for the paralyzed quadriceps muscle. [Conclusion] This study highlights the potential of the dynamic tilt table with robotic leg movement without functional electrical stimulation in rehabilitation therapy for patients with chronic stroke.
