Robotics in Physical Rehabilitation: Systematic Review.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07547683 (Usability of the Regen Gait Therapy Robot in Healthy Adults), which is not on this map. Cited by 35 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
As the global prevalence of motor disabilities continues to rise, there is a pressing need for advanced solutions in physical rehabilitation. This systematic review examines the progress and challenges of implementing robotic technologies in the motor rehabilitation of patients with physical disabilities. The integration of robotic technologies such as exoskeletons, assistive training devices, and brain-computer interface systems holds significant promise for enhancing functional recovery and patient autonomy. The review synthesizes findings from the most important studies, focusing on the clinical effectiveness of robotic interventions in comparison to traditional rehabilitation methods. The analysis reveals that robotic therapies can significantly improve motor function, strength, co-ordination, and dexterity. Robotic systems also support neuroplasticity, enabling patients to relearn lost motor skills through precise, controlled, and repetitive exercises. However, the adoption of these technologies is hindered by high costs, the need for specialized training, and limited accessibility. Key insights from the review highlight the necessity of personalizing robotic therapies to meet individual patient needs, alongside addressing technical, economic, social, and cultural barriers. The review also underscores the importance of continued research to optimize these technologies and develop effective implementation strategies. By overcoming these challenges, robotic technologies can revolutionize motor rehabilitation, improving quality of life and social integration for individuals with motor disabilities.
