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

introductionThe implementation of Virtual Reality technology is approaching a breakthrough within the medical, and rehabilitation fields. The level of immersion in the virtual environment is profound and the potential applications are vast.

methodsThis article reviews the capabilities of Virtual Reality in conjunction with the rehabilitation of nerve entrapments in sport athletes and examines the interactions between our body and brain within the virtual realm. In clinical practice it could be used as a complement to face-to-face therapy to asynchronous use by the patient in any location as a telerehabilitation system.

conclusionThe use of Virtual Reality is a novel, potential, and promising tool in the treatment of nerve entrapments, even possible in the form of telerehabilitation. The response of body and brain in a virtual setting is good, the evolutions in technology can only improve this and this need to be substantiated by further scientific research.
