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

Introduction: Reliable balance measures are crucial for effective stroke rehabilitation. This study examines the between-day and within-day reliabilities of the center of pressure (CoP) measures in chronic stroke survivors in different standing positions under the influence of motor and cognitive dual-tasking. Methods: Sixteen people (49.31±15.5 years, 5 females) with chronic stroke were assessed in two sessions, 48 hours apart. Participants completed three balance control conditions: Single-task, motor dual-task, and cognitive dual-task. They performed three trials of open-eye quiet standing and semi-tandem standing. Three trials of closed-eye quiet standing were conducted in the single-task condition. A 2-way random model of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), and minimal detectable change (MDC) were calculated for CoP mean velocity, anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) mean velocity, the standard deviation (SD) of AP and ML velocity, and sway area. Results: Within-day ICC values were higher than between-day values (ICC: 0.78-0.96). Mean velocity and Mean±SD of velocity in the AP direction showed the highest relative and absolute reliabilities in an open-eye quiet standing position (ICC: 0.82-0.92, SEM: 0.67-1.24). Dual-tasking could increase the reliability of the CoP measures, except for the sway area (ICC: 0.53-0.93 changed to 0.84-0.96). MDCs ranged from 1.03 to 7.77 mm/s for velocity-based variables. Conclusion: Assessing the postural control system during dual-task conditions provides more reliable CoP measures, especially in a semi-tandem standing position. These findings can provide clinicians with valuable insights into detecting specific balance problems that post-stroke individuals encounter.
