Efficacy of a new video observational training method (intensive visual simulation) for motor recovery in the upper limb in subacute stroke: a feasibility and proof-of-concept study.
Trial report in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of a new video-observation training method (intensive visual simulation) to improve upper limb function.
designSmall sample, randomized, evaluator-blind, monocentric study. PATIENTS: Seventeen early subacute ischaemic stroke patients with complete hemiplegia were randomly assigned to the therapeutic group (n = 8) or control group (CG, n = 9).
methodsThirty sessions of intensive visual simulation combined with corrected visual feedback (therapeutic group) or uncorrected visual feedback (control group) were performed over 6 weeks on top of a standard rehabilitation programme.
main outcome measure400-point hand assessment test (400p-HA). SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Box and Blocks (B&B), Purdue Pegboard test, Minnesota.
resultsThe 400p-HA test improved significantly from T0 to 6 months for both groups, with a significant difference between groups at 3 months (MW-UT p = 0.046) and 4 months (MW-UT p = 0.046) in favour of the therapeutic group. One-phase exponential modelling of 400p-HA showed a greater plateau for the therapeutic group (F test p = 0.0021). There was also faster recovery of the ability to perform the B&B tests for the therapeutic group (log-rank test p = 0.03).
conclusionThis study demonstrated the feasibility and potential efficacy of an intensive visual simulation training programme to improve upper limb function in subacute stroke patients. A larger study is needed to confirm these results.
