How New Technology Is Improving Physical Therapy.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purpose of reviewAs rehabilitation patient volume across the age spectrum increases and reimbursement rates decrease, clinicians are forced to produce favorable outcomes with limited resources and time. The purpose of this review is to highlight new technologies being utilized to improve standardization and outcomes for patients rehabilitating orthopedic injuries ranging from sports medicine to trauma to joint arthroplasty. RECENT
findingsA proliferation of new technologies in rehabilitation has recently occurred with the hope of improved outcomes, better patient compliance and safety, and return to athletic performance. These include technologies applied directly to the patient such as exoskeletons and instrumented insoles to extrinsic applications such as biofeedback and personalized reference charts. Well-structured randomized trials are ongoing centered around the efficacy and safety of these new technologies to help guide clinical necessity and appropriate application. We present a range of new technologies that may assist a diverse population of orthopedic conditions. Many of these interventions are already supported by level 1 evidence and appear safe and feasible for most clinical settings.
