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.

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.

Abstract

Introduction: Action observation therapy (AOT) is a mirror neuron-based approach that has been recently used in poststroke rehabilitation. The main goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of AOT of occupations and tasks that are meaningful for chronic stroke patients on occupational performance, upper-extremity function, and corticospinal changes. Method: A randomized control trial was designed to compare between experimental ( Result: Finally, the results of outcomes in 24 patients who completed the study were analyzed. In both groups, significant improvements after treatment were seen for most outcomes ( Conclusion: Observation and execution of meaningful activities can enhance the effects of simply practicing those activities on occupational performance/satisfaction and corticospinal excitability poststroke.
