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

purposeThe present study investigated the clinical feasibility of replacing a part of conventional physiotherapy (PT) with Nintendo Wii® for the recovery of motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with glioma.

methodsThis study included 10 patients with first-episode gliomas who were admitted to the neurosurgery department of a tertiary hospital. According to the patients' preferences, they were allocated to conventional PT or Wii® rehabilitation groups in which a part of the conventional PT sessions were replaced with Wii® training. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) measures were compared between the treatment groups using the Mann-Whitney U test.

resultsThe Wii® rehabilitation and conventional PT groups included four (age 39 [26-53] years, n = 2 each WHO grade III and IV) and six patients (age 72 [59-80] years; all WHO grade IV), respectively. No patient dropouts were observed. The beneficial changes did not differ significantly between the conventional PT and Wii® groups (FMA: 1.0 vs. 1.5, SPPB: - 1.0 vs. - 0.5, FIM: - 2.5 vs. 2.5, HAD: 6 vs. 0). No adverse events such as falls were observed in either treatment group.

conclusionWii® rehabilitation had comparable effects with conventional PT for the inpatient rehabilitation of patients with glioma, with no adverse effects. Wii® rehabilitation showed potential as a home-based training modality because no physical assistance was required. Further investigation will be required because of the selection bias as a non-randomized trial. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Exergame Wii® could be an effective rehabilitation tool for brain tumor patients.
