Rehabilitation interventions delivered via telehealth to support self-management of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTelerehabilitation is a term to describe rehabilitation services delivered via information and communication technology. Such services are an increasingly important component for the management of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs). Telerehabilitation has the potential to expand the long-term self-management options for individuals with RMDs, improve symptoms, and relieve pressures on health care services. Yet, little is known about the variety of interventions implemented, and how they are being evaluated. Thus, this scoping review aims to identify and describe existing rehabilitation interventions delivered via telehealth for RMDs. Specifically, we aim to identify and summarize the key components of rehabilitation, the technology used, the level of health care professional interaction, and how the effectiveness of interventions is evaluated.
methodsWe will conduct this review following the latest JBI scoping review methodology and the PRISMA guidelines for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The 'Population-Concept-Context (PCC)' framework will be used, whereby the 'Population' is RMDs (≥18 years); the 'Concept' is rehabilitation; and the 'Context' is telehealth. Developed in collaboration with a subject Librarian, refined PCC key terms will be utilized to search (from 2011-2021) three electronic databases (i.e., Embase, Scopus, Web of Science) for articles published in English. Search results will be exported to the citation management software (EndNote), duplicates removed, and eligibility criteria applied to title/abstract and full-text review. Relevant information pertaining to the PCC framework will be extracted. Data will be summarized qualitatively, and if appropriate, quantitatively via frequency counts of the components comprising the 'Concept' and 'Context' categories of the PCC framework. DISCUSSION: Findings from the proposed scoping review will identify how telehealth is currently used in the delivery of rehabilitation interventions for RMDs. The findings will develop our understanding of such interventions and provide a platform from which to inform future research directions.
