Efficacy of Neurorehabilitation Approaches in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a significant public health issue, causing long-term disabilities and imposing considerable socioeconomic and healthcare challenges. While advancements in acute care have improved survival rates, the demand for effective neurorehabilitation is increasing. This narrative review explores the evidence on neurorehabilitation strategies for TBI, focusing on interventions targeting cognitive, motor, and psychological recovery. A total of 32 studies were included and categorized into six approaches: non-invasive brain stimulation, virtual reality (VR), computer-based training, telerehabilitation, robot-assisted therapy (RAT), and mixed approaches. Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), showed variable effectiveness in improving cognitive outcomes. VR-based therapies enhanced attention and executive functions, while RAT, such as Lokomat and exoskeletons, improved gait symmetry and functional mobility. Computer-assisted programs demonstrated benefits in rehabilitating social cognition and executive functions. Telerehabilitation and telephone-based treatments provided short-term gains but lacked sustained effects. Overall, cognitive improvements were better described and represented, while several motor improvements lacked consistency. Despite the promising results, significant gaps remain, including heterogeneity in methodologies, small sample sizes, and limited long-term outcome data.
