Efficacy and safety of using a unilateral lower limb exoskeleton combined with conventional treatment in post-stroke rehabilitation: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: The incidence of hemiplegia caused by stroke is high. In particular, lower limb dysfunction affects the daily activities of patients, and lower limb robotic devices have been proposed to provide rehabilitation therapy to improve balance function in this patient population. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the LiteStepper Methods: This multicenter randomized controlled trial, conducted in the convalescent rehabilitation ward of four hospitals, involved 92 patients in their post-stroke phase. Participants were randomized into an experimental group (EG) or a conventional group (CG). The EG adopted the LiteStepper Results: The BBS scores in EG was significantly elevated compared to CG, exhibiting a profound statistical difference ( Discussion and significance: The LiteStepper
