Application of Virtual Reality to Home-Visit Rehabilitation for Patients With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Single-Group Pre-post Comparison Study.

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
Objective Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used to alleviate pain during the rehabilitation of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Previous studies on the application of VR to rehabilitation have reported improvements in pain, functional impairment, and psychological status of patients. However, the focus of many previous studies was on short-term effects and rehabilitation in hospitals. Studies that report home-based rehabilitation for mid- to long-term periods are lacking. Hence, the aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of applying VR for the home-visit rehabilitation of these patients. Methods A single-group pre-post comparative study was conducted at two home healthcare agencies in Japan. Six female participants (mean age: 76.5 years) with chronic musculoskeletal pain underwent 10 sessions of VR-applied home rehabilitation over 10 weeks. In the intervention, a standalone VR headset (MetaQuest 2
