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.

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

backgroundExercise is a key component of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) management. As telerehabilitation has become a viable solution for delivering remote care, the effectiveness of core stability exercises via this method remains under-researched.

aimTo compare the effects of telerehabilitation-based synchronous versus asynchronous core stability exercises on core muscle endurance, spinal mobility, disease activity, physical function, and quality of life in patients with axSpA.

methodsForty-four patients with axSpA were randomly assigned to a synchronous exercise group (n = 22, 14 females) performing real-time exercises supervised by a physiotherapist, or an asynchronous group (n = 22, 10 females) following pre-recorded exercise videos. Core endurance tests, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Scale (ASQoL), and functional mobility tests (timed-up-and-go and chair stand tests) were used to assess outcomes. Perceived change was evaluated at post-treatment using the 5-point Global Rating of Change (GRoC) scale.

resultsThe synchronous group demonstrated greater changes in core endurance, BASMI, BASDAI, ASQoL, BASFI, and functional mobility tests (p < 0.05) compared to asynchronous group. Asynchronous group displayed improvement only in core endurance, ASQoL, chair stand test, and some BASMI parameters (p < 0.05). Notably, 100% of participants in the synchronous group reported their condition as improved, compared to 50% in the asynchronous group shown by GRoC.

conclusionSupervised core stability exercises delivered by using a synchronous telerehabilitation program may provide better outcomes compared to unsupervised video-based exercise program.

trial registrationThis study is prospectively registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06000072).
