Changes in arm and hand function after four weeks robot-assisted arm training in stroke survivors.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation and assistive technologies engineering. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: This study aimed to explore the relationship between training volume during 4 weeks of robot-assisted arm training (RAAT) and changes in arm-and hand function, grip strength, gross motor skills, spasticity, and daily activities. Methods: Twenty participants, >18 years of age, in subacute phase following stroke, with impaired arm function admitted to Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital, completed 4 weeks robot-assisted arm training (45 min, 3-5 times a week). Before and after this intervention, the participants' arm and hand function, grip strength, gross motor dexterity, spasticity and activities of daily living were assessed. Results: The key findings of this study indicated no association between training volume and improvements in arm and hand function, grip strength, gross motor dexterity, spasticity, or activities of daily living. Also, no significant associations between changes in arm and hand function and age, gender, or affected side. However, subgroup analysis showed significant improvements in arm-hand function for participants with shorter time post-stroke ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of early initiation and individualized treatment based on initial function when using robot-assisted arm training in stroke survivors.
