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

Background: Recovery of walking ability is important for stroke patients because it increases the likelihood of discharge and is the essential basis for achieving functional independence. Walking training intensity, measured in meters (m), provides a tangible measure of progress that is obvious and directly relates to a patient's ability to walk in real-world scenarios. Objectives: To determine the relationship between walking training distance, Method: The design was a retrospective study conducted in an inpatient rehabilitation center. A total of 87 patients were assigned to the Results: The achieved walking training distance in the Conclusion: The results suggested that higher walking training intensity, as reflected by greater achieved walking training distance, is associated with higher levels of walking ability at discharge and better functional outcomes.
