Effect of dual task-based training on motor and cognitive function in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trails.
Synthesis in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07557667 (Efficacy of Tele-Supervised Dual-Task Balance Training on Gait, Balance, and Cognitive Function in Community-Dwelling Older Adults at Risk of Falls), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe clinical application of dual-task training based on movement and cognition in stroke population is still controversial. This study used a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the effects of dual-task exercise versus single-task training including cognitive-only, exercise-only, and usual rehabilitation for motor function and cognitive function in stroke patients.
methodsExtensive electronic database search (from inception to November 27, 2024) was conducted in 8 databases to identify randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of dual task-based training on motor and cognitive function in stroke patients.
results30 RCTs involving 1,588 people were included in the analysis. The study found that compared with the control group, dual-task cognitive motor training can improve the walking performance of stroke patients (WMD = 3.19, 95%CI: 2.26, 4.12), the recovery of lower limb motor function (WMD = 2.78, 95% CI: 1.38, 4.18), cognitive function (WMD = 2.93, 95% CI: 0.95, 4.91) and mental state (WMD = 3.39, 95% CI: 0.06, 6.72), and the functional state of activities of daily living (WMD = 7.47, 95% CI: 3.97, 10.96). Subgroup analyses showed that cognitive-motor dual-task training was more likely to have a clinical effect after at least 3 weeks of intervention.
conclusionsDual-task training significantly improves walking ability, lower limb motor function, cognitive function, mental status, and activities of daily living in stroke patients. No significant effects were found for basic mobility and gait speed. These findings support its clinical application, with personalized programs recommended based on patient needs.
