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

backgroundStrategic motor learning, guided by visual feedback (VF), is commonly used in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. While visuospatial working memory (VSWM) has been shown to support VF-guided motor correction in upper limb motor learning tasks, its role in locomotor learning after stroke remains unclear.

objectiveWe examined whether VSWM is related to strategic learning by examining the overall accuracy and improvement in accuracy over time with VF-guided locomotor learning in individuals with chronic stroke.

methodsSeventy-seven individuals >6 months post-stroke (41 males and 36 females; mean age = 66.3 ± 10.9 years) adapted walking on a split-belt treadmill (2:1 ratio) with real-time VF of step lengths. Feedback was displayed as visual targets on a screen and participants were instructed to use the visual cues to counteract the split-belt perturbation and restore their pre-perturbation step lengths. Strategic learning was assessed using 2 outcomes: overall accuracy and improvement in accuracy over strides during the VF phase. VSWM was assessed with the Spatial Addition subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale-IV.

resultsAfter adjusting for age, sex, time since stroke, and lower extremity Fugl-Meyer score, VSWM explained a significant proportion of the variance in both outcomes (overall accuracy: Δ

conclusionOur findings suggest that VSWM may be important for strategic locomotor learning with VF in people with chronic stroke, highlighting its potential relevance as a key consideration in designing walking rehabilitation strategies for people after stroke.
