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

Purpose: Further investigation into the feasibility of using videoconferencing and activity tracking devices to provide high-intensity home-based exercise programmes for people with a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is needed to inform clinical implementation and patient adoption. This study aimed to (1) determine if home-based telerehabilitation exercise programmes were feasible for people with a moderate or severe TBI and (2) better understand the lived experience of people with a TBI and their family partners with this programme. Methods: A mixed-methods approach consisting of measures of feasibility and semi-structured interviews was used. Five participants with moderate to severe TBI and their family partners completed two high-intensity home-based exercise programmes delivered remotely by a physiotherapist (i.e., daily and weekly). Results: Telerehabilitation services in home-based settings were feasible for this population. Adherence and engagement were high. Dyads were satisfied with the use of technology to deliver physiotherapy sessions. Conclusion: Telerehabilitation provides a delivery option that allows people with TBI to spend energy on therapy rather than on travelling. A pre-programme training on key components, such as the use of technology, safety precautions, and communication methods, likely improved the overall feasibility. Further research is needed to better understand the effectiveness of such a programme on balance, mobility, and physical activity levels.
