Exercise-based telerehabilitation for patients with multiple sclerosis using physical activity: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 practical option for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) to engage in sustained physical activity without -visiting a rehabilitation facility. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, safety, and adherence of exercise-based telerehabilitation as compared with usual care for MS patients.
methodsA comprehensive literature search adhering to PRISMA guidelines was conducted, focusing on studies published in English since 2000. The systematic review protocol was registered in PROSPERO. The selection process involved strict criteria, including studies focusing on people with MS, telerehabilitation centred on regular exercise, a control group receiving usual care, valid exercise testing, and adherence to randomized controlled trial principles. Methodological quality was assessed using the TESTEX tool, ensuring rigour in study design and reporting.
resultsAmong the 281 records screened, 10 studies met the criteria. Telerehabilitation interventions varied in format and outcomes were assessed using diverse exercise tests and questionnaires. Despite variations, the studies collectively demonstrated promising feasibility and safety, with minimal withdrawals and minor adverse events. Effectiveness varied, with 5 out of 10 studies showing significant improvements in the intervention group. Adherence rates ranged from 38% to 100%.
conclusionIn most of the assessed aspects, telerehabilitation is comparable to regular centre-based rehabilitation.
