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
Objective: Extended reality (XR), encompassing virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality, has the potential to transform therapeutic practices for individuals facing physical impairments or social isolation. This study aims to explore how XR, when integrated with advanced digital tools and information and communications technologies, can enhance psycho-physical well-being and therapeutic effectiveness, thereby improving quality of life. Methods: The research focusses on a pre-implementation phase assessing the knowledge and acceptance levels of XR technologies among healthcare professionals and the general population. For healthcare professionals, the study examines their perceived benefits of XR and their expertise in using such technologies to guide its implementation within care pathways. For the general public, the investigation centres on the perceived benefits and opportunities of XR in enhancing daily experiences and overall well-being. Results: The study facilitates the preliminary definition of user requirements for both healthcare professionals and the general public, supporting the development of relevant scenarios and the identification of suitable XR technologies for therapeutic applications. The findings highlight the essential role of healthcare professionals in integrating XR into therapeutic frameworks while emphasizing the importance of addressing user needs and expectations. The structured methodology provides a foundation for designing an inclusive system that aligns with the needs of both stakeholders. Conclusion: The successful adoption of XR in therapeutic contexts requires clear definitions, comprehensive stakeholder engagement, and structured implementation pathways. By prioritizing remote access to artistic and recreational activities, XR can be positioned as an essential element of therapeutic care, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
