"Effects of robot-assisted gait training combined with traditional treatment in hereditary spastic paraplegia: An observational pilot cohort study".
Observational study in Scientific reports, 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
Evidence-based guidelines for motor rehabilitation in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) are still lacking but robotic gait training may offer benefits for motor function and walking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) combined with traditional treatment (TT) on gait pattern, motor skills and quality of life in subjects affected by HSP. 40 patients (33 pure; 20 pediatric) underwent an intensive program with RAGT and TT daily (five-times a week for three consecutive weeks). Patients were evaluated pre and post intervention with gait analysis, gross-motor and timed walking tests and quality of life questionnaires. A three-month follow-up was conducted. A statistically significant improvement was observed in the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Enhancements have been obtained also in the Ten-Meter Walk Test (10mWT), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the GMFM-88. The Spastic Paraplegia Rating Scale (SPRS) suggested reduction in disease severity. Quality of life's questionnaires showed improved perceived physical health. Gait analysis data did not show significant changes. Intensive treatment with a combination of RAGT and TT improves functional skills and quality of life in HSP. These new findings could guide clinical management and development of future rehabilitation studies.
