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

The growing number of patients in need of rehabilitation, largely due to an aging population and the increasing incidence of strokes, drives the search for more effective therapeutic methods. Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability, increasing demand for rehabilitation services. Robotic-assisted therapy presents a promising solution by offering precision and repeatability, complementing traditional methods. This study compared traditional rehabilitation led by a physiotherapist with robotic-assisted therapy using the UR10e robot. The research consisted of two stages: in the first, a physiotherapist guided passive upper limb movements, and in the second, the same movements were replicated by the UR10e robot with a specialized adapter for arm positioning. Movements were measured using the Noraxon Ultium Motion system, analyzing flexion, extension, and rotation angles at the shoulder and elbow joints.
