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

ObjectiveTo generate a clinical roadmap for managing lateropulsion after supratentorial stroke which integrates theory and practice using a realist review strategy.Data SourcesMedline Complete, CINAHL Complete, PEDro, Academic Search Complete, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, and Embase were searched until December 2025.Review MethodsTwo searches included review and non-review articles about people with contralesional lateropulsion after supratentorial stroke. We excluded articles about people with ipsilesional lateropulsion resulting from brainstem or cerebellar stroke and non-English articles. Guided by
