Remote physiotherapy monitoring using the novel D+R Therapy iPhone application.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundPatient compliance to physiotherapy after surgical intervention is key to optimal functional outcome. This has been recognised by published literature over a number of decades. Improving and monitoring patient compliance remains a challenge. This paper explores the use of a website linked iPhone application that may be used to address this issue. PURPOSE: The purpose of this case study was to assess if the D+R Therapy application was of benefit to a patient and to assess the advantages and disadvantages of such a system.
methodOne patient who underwent knee cartilage resurfacing surgery was followed up in the post-operative period. RESULTS/
conclusionThe D+R Therapy platform may provide a timely and cost effective method of managing patients undergoing musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Costs may be reduced by exploiting the hardware patients already own, and identifying non-compliant patients who may be of interest to both healthcare providers and insurers. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.
