Rehabilitation of motor dysfunction in primary brain tumor patients
Review in Neuro-oncology practice, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
In 2010 it was estimated that >688 000 Americans were living with a primary brain tumor (PBT) corresponding to a U.S. prevalence rate of approximately 221.8 per 100 000 people. Five-year survival is 96.1% in nonmalignant PBTs, 34% in malignant PBTs for all ages, and 71% in children [1985-2005]. Case fatality rates have decreased in the U.S. since the 1970's for nonmalignant PBTs and for medulloblastoma, oligodendroglioma, and astrocytoma. Statistics of increasing survival highlight the importance of rehabilitation interventions to improve function and quality of life in survivors. PBT motor dysfunction is multifactorial, occurring as a result of direct effects of tumor and/or swelling or as a result of treatments; etiologies include encephalopathy, myopathy, neuropathy, infection, poor nutrition, metabolic factors, emotional factors, impaired perception/vision/cognition and complications of immobility. Motor dysfunction may lead to: impaired mobility, impaired activities of daily living, risk for complications of immobility, falls, pain, anxiety/depression, and loss of functional independence and quality of life. Rehabilitation treatment strategies target specific causes of motor dysfunction to improve functional independence and quality of life. This article reviews current knowledge and controversy regarding the role of rehabilitation for motor disorders in PBT patients.
