Efficacy of telerehabilitation in inpatients with stroke: A pilot randomized controlled trial.
Article in The British journal of occupational therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Telerehabilitation could be a substitution for regular rehabilitation in an epidemic situation. Furthermore, there is no evidence of the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in stroke inpatients. Objectives: To assess the effects of telerehabilitation on daily life function, mobility, and quality of life in stroke inpatients. Methodology: Inpatients with stroke were randomly assigned to either the telerehabilitation group ( Results: No significant differences were found in the outcome measures. However, both groups showed significant improvements in the Modified Barthel Index and Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke scores. The telerehabilitation group improved in Functional Ambulation Categories scores, while the control group showed improvement in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scores. Conclusion: This pilot study suggests that telerehabilitation may be a feasible alternative during the pandemic. However, due to the small sample size and the potential influence of natural recovery, the findings remain preliminary. Larger studies are necessary to more definitively assess the effectiveness of telerehabilitation compared to conventional rehabilitation.
