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

Introduction: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of an embodied rehabilitative protocol, in improving interoceptive awareness respect balance and motor performance in patients with mild multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Methods: In this study patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis were enrolled. The rehabilitative treatment group (TG) participated in an embodied physiotherapy program consisting of 8 one-hour sessions in groups of 4 patients at a time, 1 per week and 2 one-hour sessions of neuro-cognitive exercise in single session during the rehabilitation program. All pwMS underwent a clinical assessment to measure the interoception sense for the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness scale, balance for the Tinetti Mobility test and stabilometry, quality of life for the Short Form Health Survey-12 and body image perception for Trunk Appearance Perception Scale and Body Image Scale. All previous scales and tests were performed at baseline (T0), at the end of treatment (T1) and after 2 months of follow up (T2). Results: Sixty patients were enrolled and randomized into two groups: TG ( Discussion: This study suggests that enhancing interoceptive awareness could improve postural balance. Future studies with a larger sample of patients will be needed to better quantify the effects of an embodied rehabilitation.
