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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a balance instrument (Pro-Kin system) on balance function and lower limb motor function in patients with ischemic stroke hemiplegia. Methods: Sixty patients with ischemic stroke hemiplegia were randomly assigned to either an experimental group ( Results: After adjusting for baseline va lues using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvements than the control group in all four clinical scales and six balance instrument parameters. Clinical scores: Berg Balance Scale (BBS Conclusion: Balance instrument training with the Pro-Kin system can effectively improve balance function and lower limb motor function in patients with ischemic stroke hemiplegia, with superior outcomes compared to conventional rehabilitation training alone.
