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

purposeAsymmetrical weight-bearing on trans-tibial prosthesis at the initial prosthetic fitting results in a modified gait and secondary disorders. The pilot study will examine the feasibility of the weight-bearing training with visual feedback in trans-tibial prosthesis loading and its potential effectiveness.

methodsWeight-bearing of the prosthesis was evaluated by centre of pressure (COP). Twenty participants with unilateral initial trans-tibial prosthesis were randomized into test and control group; the control received conventional rehabilitation training; the test group weight-bearing training with real-time feedback in 10 sessions over 2 weeks. Clinical tests 10 m walk test and L-Test were carried out in both groups at baseline and after 2 weeks.

resultsStatistical differences were found between the groups in COP postural sway and frontal plane COP sway path (

conclusionsThe differences in pre-post changes of the intervention demonstrated changes in medial-lateral weight transfer and thus loading of the prosthesis after the weight-bearing training program with visual feedback. Values were sufficiently large and meaningful to pursue a larger clinical trial for suggested initial fitting of trans-tibial prosthesis.
