Classification of postural control characteristics during quiet standing in patients with subacute stroke and their association with lesion networks.
Article in Research square, 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
Standing balance after stroke is crucial for independence and fall prevention, yet quiet-standing postural control and its neural substrates are incompletely understood. We studied 75 patients (mean age 61.08 ± 11.76 years; 59 men) within 2 months of stroke onset. During 30-s eyes-open quiet standing, center-of-pressure (CoP) data were recorded and 52 variables were derived. We applied supervised structured sparse principal component analysis (S3PCA) to extract components and Gaussian mixture clustering to define phenotypes. Admission MRI quantified the percent damage of white-matter tracts using the Lesion Quantification Toolkit. Between-cluster differences in tract damage were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn-Holm post hoc tests; within-cluster associations between tract damage and S3PCA scores were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation. S3PCA yielded four components (antero-posterior frequency distribution, medio-lateral spatial, antero-posterior frequency, and medio-lateral frequency). The three following clusters emerged: (1) higher-frequency profile, (2) lower-frequency/spatial profile, and (3) low medio-lateral frequency with high spatial profile. Compared with cluster 2, cluster 3 showed greater damage in the medial lemniscus and spinothalamic tracts, and tract damage correlated positively with medio-lateral frequency scores within cluster 3. Ascending vestibular/somatosensory pathway damage is linked to phenotype-specific quiet-standing postural control after stroke.
