The effects of suspension-supported training on dynamic balance capacity in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis enhanced by XGBoost machine learning.

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
Objective: Systematically evaluate the effectiveness of suspension-supported training (SST) on dynamic balance in stroke patients and determine its optimal training dose to establish an evidence-based foundation for clinical rehabilitation. Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) meeting Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, Study design (PICOS) criteria were screened in PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library (search cutoff: 31 October 2025). Twelve studies comprising 584 patients were included. A restricted maximum likelihood (REML) random-effects model was used to pool standardized mean differences (SMDs). Heterogeneity was assessed using the I-squared (I Results: SST produced a significant improvement in dynamic balance (SMD = 0.87, 95% CI 0.49-1.26, Conclusion: SST effectively enhances dynamic balance in stroke patients. Preliminary models indicated that a regimen of 90-100 min per session, 6 times per week for 8-9 weeks (total duration: 34.6-37.6 h, ~36 h) might yield favorable results. However, given the heterogeneity and study-level limitations, these dosage findings were considered hypothesis-generating. Future research should prioritize high-quality, large-sample RCTs with long follow-up to verify clinical and long-term effectiveness.
