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

backgroundVirtual reality (VR) generates a virtual environment with which one can interact as if it were real. In Stroke, which represents one of the highest causes of cognitive impairment in Europe, the use of VR in cognitive rehabilitation has been studied through the performance of different types of tasks, which could have different impacts. For this reason, the objective of this study was to review the use of VR tasks based exclusively on daily activities for the cognitive rehabilitation of people with stroke over 18 years of age.

methodsA search was carried out of the databases PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, obtaining 531 articles that, after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, were reduced to eight (six randomized clinical trials and two quasi-experimental studies).

resultsThe number of positive results was higher than the number of negative results only in global cognitive function. In specific cognitive functions the number of positive results was lower than the negatives.

conclusionsThese results highlight the need to carry out more studies with larger samples to obtain robust results and conclusions. Furthermore, this study highlights the value of research in this topic due to the interesting lines of future research.
