Efficacy and safety of dual-task training in enhancing cognitive and motor recovery for post-stroke rehabilitation.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. 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
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, with survivors frequently experiencing motor and cognitive impairments that hinder their daily functioning and independence. Dual-task training (DTT), an innovative rehabilitation approach, targets simultaneous improvement in motor and cognitive functions by addressing cognitive-motor interference. This narrative review evaluates the efficacy and safety of DTT in poststroke rehabilitation. PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and the Directory of Open Access Journals were searched, yielding 31 studies, including randomized controlled trials and observational studies. Articles were identified that evaluated the safety and efficacy of DTT for poststroke rehabilitation in patients who had suffered from hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke. Before extracting variables, the studies were imported into Rayyan software, and thematic analysis was subsequently conducted using Microsoft Excel. The findings indicate that DTT enhances gait parameters, balance, and cognitive functions, particularly attention and executive function. Additionally, it improves functional outcomes, including activities of daily living, and reduces fall risk. While DTT demonstrates promise in fostering neuroplasticity and improving recovery outcomes, questions regarding its long-term efficacy, optimal implementation, and safety warrant further investigation. This review highlights the potential of DTT as a promising approach in stroke rehabilitation, supporting more integrated recovery strategies.
