Functional Outcomes After a Physiotherapy Program in Elderly Patients With Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I After Distal Radius Fracture: A Prospective Observational Study.

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
backgroundNo published prospective studies have reported the clinical effects of physiotherapy at 1-year follow-up in patients with complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS I) after distal radius fracture (DRF). The purpose of this study was to evaluate at 1-year follow-up the functional effects of physiotherapy program in elderly patients with CRPS I after extra-articular DRF.
methodsA total of 72 patients with CRPS I after DRF were prospectively recruited. All patients were treated with a 6-week supervised physiotherapy treatment. Three evaluations were performed: at the beginning, at the end of the treatment, and at 1-year follow-up. Wrist function, upper limb function, grip strength, and pain intensity were assessed with the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), Jamar dynamometer, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), respectively.
resultsAt 1-year follow-up, the PRWE showed a decrease of 21.6 points (Cohen's
conclusionAt 1-year follow-up, a physiotherapy program showed clinically and statistically significant results in all functional outcomes in elderly patients with CRPS I after extra-articular DRF.
