Case report: Forced walking for treating lower limb paralysis after corpus callosum injury.
Article in Medicine, 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
rationaleDamage to the corpus callosum induced by cerebral infarction is a relatively uncommon injury. Patients may exhibit diminished limb sensorimotor integration and reduced muscle strength, which makes rehabilitation more difficult. We aim to present a case of long-term paralysis in 1 lower limb resulting from severe damage to the corpus callosum fiber bundles following a cerebral infarction, and to demonstrate effective rehabilitation training methods. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient experienced a cerebral infarction 2 hours after pituitary tumor surgery. Two months after undergoing conventional rehabilitation training, the right lower limb was still paralyzed. DIAGNOSES: A diffusion tensor imaging examination revealed that the corpus callosum fiber bundle and corticospinal tract were severely damaged, which explains the slow recovery. The diffusion tensor imaging results showed that the patient had insufficient muscle strength in their right lower limb and weak lower limb sensorimotor integration.
interventionsWe performed forced walking training with the assistance of a high walk assistive device. This method requires the use of both limbs in a symmetrical manner and forces the patient to concentrate, thereby increasing the sensorimotor integration of the affected limb. OUTCOMES: After 2 weeks of rehabilitation training, the patient achieved independent walking under supervision. LESSONS: Using a high walk assistive device for forced walking training may improve the lower limb motor function of patients with corpus callosum injury. A manual muscle testing grade of 0 may mask residual motor capacity in some patients.
