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

During the COVID-19 pandemic, telerehabilitation was critical to providing ongoing care for people with impairments or disabilities, and it remains frequently used and popular after the pandemic. Telerehabilitation has been shown to be feasible and effective in a variety of conditions, including chronic heart failure and coronary artery disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries, with adverse events being rare. This editorial identifies important areas and future directions for the field, including implementation considerations in the postpandemic context, issues of access and equity, and emerging innovations and personalized care. The development and implementation of this knowledge will ensure that individuals with disabilities and impairments will continue to receive effective, safe, and person-driven care remotely.
