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

backgroundTo be objective and achievable, the rehabilitation goals must be focused on the functional expectations of patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD).

objectiveInvestigate rehabilitation programs that are able to modify the activity/participation of patients with NMD. Data search: Embase, BVS/Lilacs, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), CINAHL/EBSCO, and Medline were searched in June 2021. It was last updated in March 2023.

methodsRandomized controlled trials investigating any rehabilitation therapy for patients with NMD with an outcome encompassing the activity/participation components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) were included. Pharmacological therapy studies were excluded. The results were synthesized according to the ICF core sets for NMD. The methodological quality and level of evidence were assessed using PEDro criteria and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guideline and was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42020209359).

resultsOf a total of 1943 identified studies, 12 were included in this review with a methodological quality between regular and good. Light to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise was the most studied intervention. The mobility was assessed in all included studies.

conclusionThe variability of the types of NMD and the small sample size of the included studies demonstrates that there is very limited evidence of interventions focused on the activity/participation of individuals with NMD. Light to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise seems to improve the mobility, self-care, and social participation of patients with NMD, especially those with slow progression.
