Feasibility of dance therapy using telerehabilitation on trunk control and balance training in patients with stroke: A pilot study.
Trial report in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThis randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of dance therapy using telerehabilitation on trunk control and balance training in patients with stroke and compare them with the effects of conventional treatment.
methodsWe enrolled 17 patients with subacute or chronic stroke who were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. In addition to conventional physical therapy, the experimental group (n = 9) participated in 40-minute, non-face-to-face, dance-therapy sessions and the control group (n = 8) received conventional physical therapy. The primary outcome measures were the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) scores to assess trunk control and balance function between the 2 groups as a measure of change from baseline to after the intervention.
resultsWe found that the TIS scores of the patients in the experimental group significantly improved (P = .017). The TIS results indicated non-inferiority within a predefined margin for dance therapy using telerehabilitation (difference = -0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -2.21 to 0.50).
conclusionDance therapy using telerehabilitation significantly improved the TIS scores in the experimental group and was not inferior to conventional rehabilitation treatment when compared in a non-inferiority test. The remote dance program may therefore have similar effects to those of conventional treatment regarding trunk-control improvement in patients with stroke.
