Biomechanical and neural correlates of FastFES versus Fast gait training in individuals post stroke: a randomized control trial study protocol.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04380454 (Biomechanical and Neural Mechanisms of Post-stroke Gait Training), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: Fast gait training, individually and when combined with functional electrical stimulation (FastFES), has been shown to improve walking function in individuals post stroke. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the effects of these two gait training interventions are poorly understood. The purpose of this mechanism-focused gait rehabilitation randomized clinical trial is to assess the effects of Fast and FastFES gait training interventions on corticospinal neurophysiology, gait biomechanics, energy cost, and walking function in individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, participants with chronic stroke are recruited and randomized to receive one of two gait training interventions-FastFES or Fast. Participants in each intervention group receive 12 sessions of gait training, with each training session comprising 30 min of training. During FastFES training, electrical stimulation is delivered to ankle dorsi- and plantar-flexor muscles during paretic swing phase and late stance phase, respectively. Evaluations of clinical, gait biomechanics, neurophysiological, and energy cost outcomes are performed at baseline, after completion of 12 training session (post12), and at 3-weeks and 6-weeks after completion of training (3-week follow up, 6-week follow up), to measure longitudinal effects of gait training. Additional evaluations are performed at completion of 3 and 6 training sessions (post3 and post6) to measure the time course of change during gait training. Upon completion of the study, planned analyses will include between-group comparisons of FastFES versus Fast gait training on training-induced changes in corticomotor and spinal excitability, gait biomechanics outcomes such as peak anterior ground reaction force, as well as association of training-induced changes in corticospinal neurophysiology and gait biomechanics with clinical and energy cost measures. Discussion: By elucidating the biomechanical and neural correlates underlying gait training-induced changes in locomotor function, this study promises to build on existing evidence supporting the clinical effects of FastFES and Fast gait training. The long-term goal of this study is to inform the development of neurobiology-informed, personalized, and innovative strategies to enhance the effectiveness of stroke gait rehabilitation.
