Pertinence of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy in Neurological Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07471100 (Neuromodulation-Induced-Cortical-Prehabilitation In High Grade Glioma Close To The Motor Pathway), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a neurorehabilitation technique that aims to restore motor function in patients with central nervous system injuries. Based on behavioral research conducted, CIMT has been found effective in restoring motor function in various conditions including stroke, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and more. The therapy combines neurological and behavioral mechanisms to induce neuroplastic changes and overcome learned nonuse. Modified CIMT (mCIMT) is a variant that focuses on sensorimotor functioning in the affected limb. This review summarizes studies on CIMT and mCIMT, with a focus on stroke, cerebral palsy, and other conditions. Results show that CIMT and mCIMT demonstrate significant improvements in motor function and quality of life. The studies underscore the importance of long-term research, comparative or combined therapies, and exploration of less-studied conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS) and brachial plexus injury. Overall, CIMT and mCIMT hold promise for neurorehabilitation, emphasizing the need for further investigation to enhance their effectiveness and application.
