Clinical Effect of Motor Imagery Combined with Whole-Body Vibration Therapy on Elderly Patients with Limb Dysfunction After Stroke.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: To explore the clinical efficacy of motor imagery (MI) combined with whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy on elderly patients with post-stroke limb dysfunction. Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study. Elderly stroke patients with limb dysfunction were divided into a control group (traditional rehabilitation training) and an observation group (MI combined with WBV therapy). Outcomes assessed included upper limb muscle strength/function, event-related potentials (P300), gait indicators, balance, and self-care ability before and after the intervention. Results: There were a total of 139 patients, with 67 in the control group and 72 in the observation group. After intervention, the upper limb muscle strength and function, event-related potentials, gait indicators, balance ability, and self-care ability of both groups improved compared to before intervention, and the observation group was better than the control group. Conclusion: The combination of MI and WBV therapy was superior to traditional rehabilitation alone in improving limb function, cognitive responses (P300), gait, balance, and self-care ability in elderly stroke patients.
