Home-based telerehabilitation for community-dwelling persons with stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic: A pilot study.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesTo determine the feasibility and safety of use of asynchronous telerehabilitation for community-dwelling persons with stroke in the Philippines during the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, and to evaluate the change in participants' telerehabilitation perceptions, physical activity, and well-being after a 2-week home-based telerehabilitation programme using a common social media application.
designPilot study.
participantsNineteen ambulatory, non-aphasic adult members of a national university hospital stroke support group in the Philippines.
methodsPre-participation screening was performed using the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire. The participants were medically cleared prior to study enrollment. They then engaged in telerehabilitation by watching original easy-to-follow home exercise videos prepared and posted by the study authors on a private group page on Facebook™ every other day for 2 weeks. Descriptive statistics was performed.
resultsAll 19 participants (mean age: 54.9 years) completed the programme with no significant adverse events. The majority of subjects improved their telerehabilitation perceptions (based on the Telepractice Questionnaire), physical activity levels (based on the Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire), and perceived well-being (based on the Happiness Scale).
conclusionAsynchronous telerehabilitation using a common low-cost social media application is feasible and safe for community-dwelling persons with chronic stroke in a lower-middle-income country.
