Neuroplasticity After Stroke: Clinical Evidence and Its Implication for Effective Rehabilitation Strategies.
Review in Brain & NeuroRehabilitation, 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
Stroke remains a major cause of long-term disability as it often leads to persistent motor deficits, which hinder functional recovery. Neuroplasticity is an important driver of poststroke recovery as it supports synaptic remodeling, network reorganization, and activity-dependent adaptation. This review outlines the neurobiological mechanisms of recovery, including Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity. It also discusses how intensive, task-specific rehabilitation leverages these processes. Technological innovations, such as robotic-assisted rehabilitation and sensor-based feedback, further enable high-dose, repetitive, and personalized training. In addition, adjunctive strategies, including pharmacological modulation, noninvasive brain stimulation, and stem cell therapies, which aim to enhance neuroplasticity, are highlighted. Despite their promise, these interventions show inconsistent efficacy, indicating the need for individualized approaches tailored to lesion characteristics, neurophysiological markers, and recovery stage. Future directions should emphasize the integration of biomarkers, neuroimaging, and precision neurotechnologies, together with multimodal combination therapies. These efforts are essential to establish adaptive rehabilitation protocols that can enhance both the consistency and the magnitude of functional recovery.
