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.

2 · The registry

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

Huntington's disease (HD) causes progressive neurodegeneration, impairing activities of daily living (ADL). Treatment focuses primarily on symptomatic relief through multidisciplinary approaches. This case report examines the impact of somato-cognitive coordination therapy (SCCT) on ADL in a patient with HD. A woman in her 40s with early-stage HD underwent 22 SCCT sessions using the mediVR KAGURA (mediVR), a virtual reality technology-based medical device over 20 months. Her total functional capacity rating scale improved from 10 to 11 and her Barthel Index improved from 90 to 100 within 3 months, allowing her to continue working. These improvements were sustained for 17 months. Objective measures like the single-leg stance test showed consistent progress. Improved cognitive function and psychiatric well-being were also suggested by the Trail Making Test and a return to hobbies like hiking. SCCT may have the potential to improve ADL and could complement multidisciplinary care strategy for HD patients.
