Comparison of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation Gait Training with and Without Vibrotactile Feedback on Balance and Gait in Persons with Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAlthough both rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) and vibrotactile feedback have been shown to yield beneficial effects in stroke rehabilitation, evidence regarding their combined application remains limited. This study investigates the effects of RAS gait training alone (RG) versus RAS combined with vibrotactile feedback (RAS-V) on balance and gait in individuals post-stroke.
methodsTwenty-two people with stroke were randomly assigned to either an RAS-V or an RG group. The RAS-V group performed RAS gait training combined with vibrotactile feedback while the RG group performed RAS gait training. Both groups participated in 30-min gait training sessions, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Balance ability was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go test (TUG). Gait ability was evaluated using the G-Walk gait analyzer and the 10-m Walk Test (10 mWT), including gait cadence, velocity, and stride length.
resultsWithin-group comparisons showed significant improvements in BBS (
conclusionsRAS gait training with vibrotactile feedback enhances balance and gait ability more effectively than RAS gait training alone, suggesting additional benefits of incorporating vibrotactile feedback.
