A domain-specific approach to characterizing balance confidence post-stroke.
Article in Topics in stroke rehabilitation, 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the construct of balance confidence, as measured by the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale, consists of three factors in those with chronic stroke.
designThis study was a cross-sectional analysis of preexisting data from a research registry.
settingAcademic institution.
participants248 community-dwelling adults with a history of one or more strokes, verified by CT/MRI report or past provider. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): We proposed that the ABC-scale items comprise three balance confidence domains: 1) anticipatory control, 2) walking balance, and 3) reactive balance. We assigned ABC Q1,2,8,10-12 to walking balance, Q3-7,9 to anticipatory control, and Q13-16 to reactive balance. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test this hypothesized structure, with outcomes including the Goodness-of-Fit indices (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), and Tucker-Lewis Fit Index (TLI)).
resultsAll indicators significantly loaded as hypothesized. CONCLUSION(S): These results suggest that the items in the ABC scale represent three domains of anticipatory control, walking balance, and reactive balance.
