1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BackgroundIndividuals with chronic stroke are less active, which is both a consequence of stroke-related impairments and a risk factor for future health complications. The PROWALKS clinical trial found significant gains in real-world walking activity (steps/day) after 12 weeks of a step activity monitoring behavioral intervention, provided either alone (SAM) or with high-intensity gait training (FAST + SAM), but not after high-intensity gait training alone (FAST). Previous research in individuals after stroke suggests that tailored behavioral counseling may lead to better long-term physical activity participation, but no previous work has focused on post-intervention maintenance of walking activity changes.ObjectiveTo investigate whether steps/day changes after training (POST) were maintained at 6 months (6MO) and 12 months (12MO) after baseline. We hypothesized that SAM and FAST + SAM groups would have better maintenance of steps/day changes than the FAST group.
