Use of Virtual Rehabilitation to Improve the Symmetry of Body Temperature, Balance, and Functionality of Patients with Stroke Sequelae.
Article in Annals of neurosciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStroke rehabilitation that is based on the patients' needs, experiences, and priorities requires extensive knowledge and skills to capture and integrate the perspectives of the subject. PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of an occupational therapy protocol associated with virtual reality (VR) on the symmetry of body temperature (BTP), balance, and functionality of patients with stroke sequelae.
methodsTen patients (69.84 ± 7.55 years) diagnosed with stroke between 2 and 10 years earlier were evaluated during clinical care sessions integrated with VR games. Associated with games, all patients were stimulated to use both upper and lower limbs and distribute body weight symmetrically, and perceptual stimuli of body-half training, alignment, postural control, and balance were given. The variables of thermography (temperature [°C] and body asymmetry) of the upper and lower limbs, balance (Berg scale), and functionality were analyzed before and after the test.
resultsBTP was reduced in the 4 upper and lower limb body regions of interest: the right arm (
conclusionVR associated with occupational therapeutic planning can amplify and potentiate neurological recovery following stroke.
