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

Telerehabilitation has been suggested to be equally effective than in-person rehabilitation, and could be helpful to increase participation and reduce barriers. People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often present urogenital dysfunctions, impairing independence and quality of life (QoL). Since the different available telerehabilitation protocols, the present study aimed to compare a live video urogenital rehabilitation intervention protocol (REMOTE) with a home-based pre-recorded video protocol (SELF). A randomized-controlled trial was performed, with 14 females with MS being allocated in the REMOTE group (36 ± 9 y) and 14 females in the SELF group (37 ± 7 y). Both telerehabilitation protocols were identical in terms of contents (including pelvic floor training and relaxation exercises), frequency and duration, consisting of 10 sessions of 45 min each, every 5 days. Questionnaires were administered at the beginning and the end of the study: Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) symptoms and related QoL, the main outcome being ICIQ incontinence score. Despite most of the outcomes improved in both groups, REMOTE was found to be more effective than SELF in most of the SF-36 domains (from p < 0.001 pη
