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.

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

Objectives: The main aim is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two specific exergaming systems in addition to conventional treatment on improving physical functional capacity, balance, muscle strength, spasticity in lower limbs, and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. The secondary aim is to compare the effectiveness of each exergaming system to isolated conventional treatment. Design: A multicenter, assessor-blind, 24-week, randomized controlled trial. Methods: 39 patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis will be allocated to three groups. A control group will perform a conventional treatment based on daily routine activities and/or combined training, whereas the experimental groups will be randomly divided to develop an active videogame-based exercise program through Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure Discussion: The findings from this evidence-based trial, which includes both Nintendo
