Collection of the digital data from the neurological examination.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
This review presents the status quo of how far the digitalization of elements of the neurological examination has progressed. Our focus was on studies that assessed the examination conducted in person, rather than through telemedicine platforms. Five hundred and twenty studies were included in this systematic review. The digital tools covered ten elements of the neurological examination: gait (173, 33%), motor system (149, 29%), eyes (85, 16%), cognitive functions (53, 10%), sensory system (47, 9%), balance (35, 7%), other movements (24, 5%), other cranial nerves (24, 5%), coordination (10, 2%), and autonomic nervous system (9, 2%). Most of the tools were portable (442, 85%), and in 215 studies (41%) the devices were wearable. The cost of the digital tools used was described and discussed in 167 (32%) studies. Most devices (61%) had a low complexity, and half required high additional analytic effort.
