Effects of virtual reality intervention on upper limb motor function and activity of daily living in patients with lesions in different regions of the brain.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate whether a virtual reality (VR) intervention has an influence in improving the motor function and activities of daily living (ADLs) in patients with lesions in different regions of the brain. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven subjects with hemiplegic stroke were recruited in this study, which was conducted from January to February, 2017. They received a VR intervention once a day for 30 min, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) were used to assess the post-stroke patients' motor function and ADLs, respectively. [Results] There were significant differences in pre- and post-test outcomes of the Arm and Coordination and Speed (CS) in the FMA and K-MBI in the middle cerebral artery group (MCAG). Moreover, there were significant differences in all sub-tests of FMA and K-MBI in the Basal ganglia group (BGG). In addition, there were significant differences in the pre-test outcomes of Arm and pre- and post-test outcomes of Hand in the FMA between the two groups. [Conclusion] This study revealed that VR intervention improved the upper limb motor function and ADLs of post-stroke patients, especially those in the BGG.
