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
backgroundTelemonitoring can maintain daily exercise routine during the COVID-19 pandemic of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there are barriers to adherence and attendance with remote physical rehabilitation. The main objective of this study was to evaluate adherence rate, barriers to attendance, and safety of a telemonitoring program for individuals with PD; and secondarily to evaluate the individual and their family members perceived overall experience when performing the telemonitoring physical exercise program.
methodsThis was a phase 1 of a clinical trial, engaging 19 individuals with idiopathic PD of an in-person community rehabilitation program. For 24 weeks an asynchronous telemonitoring physical exercise program delivered two sessions per week by video including warm-up, balance, aerobic and resistance exercises, and cool-down. During the remote program were verified: adherence rate at entrance, attendance rate, barriers to attend, safety, and overall experience of the program. RESULTS AND
conclusionOnly one participant did not perform any session and 18 participants completed between 2 and 34 sessions. Participants with a caregiver showed higher attendance rates. The most frequently cited barriers to attend the program were: pain; lack of motor skills; and reduced physical fitness. In relation to safety of the program, the most frequently reported was fear of falling. Although participants reported the telemonitoring program induced health benefits and they had positive experiences for themselves and for their families, most of participants prefer an in-person program. In this sense, the asynchronous telemonitoring physical exercise program was safe, showed moderate adherence, with attendance rate depending on the presence of a companion.
