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

Geriatric rehabilitation (GR) facilities are turning to innovative tools such as telerehabilitation to support home-based treatment due to challenges with population ageing, staff shortages, and mounting budgetary pressures. This study identified the potential added value as well as the requirements of using telerehabilitation in home-based GR, according to stakeholders and potential end-users. This exploratory qualitative study design conducted semi-structured interviews among nineteen care professionals, three patients and one informal caregiver. The qualitative data from these interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed with inductive content analysis. Interviewees indicated multiple added values and requirements for telerehabilitation in home-based GR. Overall, there was great emphasis on blended care implementation, in which telerehabilitation is used in conjunction with in-person care. It is recommended to use the present findings towards developing and implementing a telerehabilitation intervention in home-based GR and assess its feasibility and usability.
