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

To investigate the impact on physical performance and walking abilities associated with fall risk and disability in the senior population, we created a telerehabilitation system. This is a multi-site, community setting, pre−post experimental study. We recruited participants from four rural areas in Thailand. All participants received eight weeks of tele-exercise, three sessions per week, via the telerehabilitation system. After the intervention, all participants underwent the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and the six-minute walk test (6MWT) using a wearable sensor system. A total of 123 participants participated in the study and 2 participants dropped out while conducting the study, thus 121 participants were included in the analysis. In comparison to the baseline, we discovered a considerable improvement in the SPPB score (0.65 ± 0.22, p < 0.001), TUG (−1.70 ± 0.86, p < 0.001), and 6MWT (10.23 ± 7.33, p = 0.007). Our study demonstrates the benefits of telerehabilitation on SPPB, TUG, and 6MWT related to disabilities and fall risk. This telerehabilitation technology demonstrated its viability in the community environment and demonstrated its capacity to offer fundamental components of remote rehabilitation services within the healthcare system.
