Hip flexor and ankle dorsiflexor strength associated with gait speed in post-stroke hemiparesis: Cross-sectional study.

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
Objectives: Lower-limb flexor muscle strength, including hip flexor (HF) and ankle dorsiflexor (AD) strength, is important for limb advancement and walking after stroke. However, their individual and combined associations with gait speed (GS) in adults with post-stroke hemiparesis are not well understood, especially in KSA. Thus, the present study examined the individual and combined associations of HF and AD strength with GS in this population. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 60 ambulatory adults with post-stroke hemiparesis who were recruited from a tertiary rehabilitation hospital in Riyadh. Isometric HF and AD strength (N·m/kg) were measured using standardized handheld dynamometry. GS (m/s) was assessed using an electronic walkway. Associations were analyzed based on Pearson's correlation coefficients ( Results: HF strength was more strongly correlated with GS ( Conclusion: HF strength was associated with GS in post-stroke hemiparesis, whereas AD strength did not provide additional explanatory value. These findings may support prioritizing proximal lower-limb strengthening during stroke rehabilitation.
