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

Organizations have their own policies and procedures to govern operational aspects of health care facilities. With the advent of telemedicine, there has been a growing trend in providing telehealth practices without formally exploring the ethical and legislative aspects. The potential use of electronic and digital services in telerehabilitation can influence various ethical and legal factors, such as confidentiality, consent. and negligence. Thus, establishing clear strategies in this regard is necessary. Ethical and legal aspects of healthcare are influenced by cultural, religious, and legislative rulings of a state. At the same time, the multidimensional scope of rehabilitation in a health system has its own challenges. This narrative review intends to highlight the importance of incorporating the ethical and legislative framework in the telerehabilitation process in Saudi Arabia. A summary of various aspects in-line with unique local attributes is included, which can also help to facilitate regional telerehabilitation services in the Arab World.
