1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Use of VR-games is considered a promising treatment approach in stroke rehabilitation. However, there is little knowledge on the use and expectations of patients and health professionals regarding the use of treadmill walking in a fully immersive virtual environment as a rehabilitation tool for gait training for stroke survivors. The objectives of the current study were to determine whether stroke survivors can use fully immersive VR utilizing modern HMDs while walking on a treadmill without adverse effects, and to investigate the experiences of stroke survivors and clinicians after testing with focus on acceptability and potential utilization in rehabilitation. A qualitative research design with semi-structured interviews was used to collect data. Five stroke survivors and five clinicians participated in the study and tested a custom-made VR-game on the treadmill before participating in individual semi-structured interview. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The analysis of the interview data identified two main categories: (1)
