Effect of Combined Visual Biofeedback and Metronome on Gait Reciprocity in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundVisual biofeedback (BF) and rhythmic metronome stimulation (RMS) are used for correction of stroke gait. To determine the feasibility of improving gait reciprocity using BF technology combined with RMS.
methodsPatients with subacute stroke in the Main group (n20 patients) underwent a course of BF training targeting the reciprocity parameter by RMS (9 sessions) plus standard rehabilitation. The Control group (n = 20) received standard rehabilitation only. Biomechanical gait analysis covering spatiotemporal, kinematic, and EMG parameters, as well as clinical scale assessments, was performed before and after the rehabilitation.
resultsAt baseline and at the end of rehabilitation, the Main group showed a functionally more severe condition on the DGI and TUG scales (
conclusionsA short-term (9-session) course of BF training did not produce a statistically significant improvement in the reciprocity parameter and requires confirmation in a powered randomized trial.
