Effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Upper Extremity Function Training (Gloreha) on Upper Extremities Function After Stroke: Systematic Review.
Review in JMIR rehabilitation and assistive technologies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The Gloreha (Idrogenet SRL) is a robotic device that enhances conventional rehabilitation for improving upper extremity function after stroke, but comprehensive evidence on its effectiveness is still lacking. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Gloreha device on upper extremity function and activities of daily living (ADLs) in patients with stroke. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, Embase, and EBSCO Open Dissertations were searched from January 2013 to January 2024. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials involving adult patients with stroke that compared rehabilitation with the Gloreha device to conventional rehabilitation and reported upper extremity function or ADLs outcomes. All included studies underwent bias risk assessment using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Results: Out of 1123 studies identified, 3 randomized controlled trials involving 83 participants were included. Of these, 2 trials combined Gloreha training with conventional rehabilitation, while in another trial, patients engaged solely in the training by the Gloreha device. The Gloreha, whether integrated with conventional rehabilitation or used independently, has the potential to enhance motor function and functional ability in survivors of stroke. Conclusions: Gloreha passive training with conventional rehabilitation improves upper extremity function post stroke, but ADL effects and long-term optimal dosing require further research.
