Multidisciplinary Inpatient Rehabilitation for Unilateral Neuromyelitis Optica: Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune condition that typically affects middle-aged females and presents with bilateral neurological symptoms. Unilateral presentations are uncommon and often difficult to diagnose. Due to its low incidence, rehabilitation strategies for NMOSD remain understudied, particularly in patients with atypical presentations. This report describes a 34-year-old African American male with a unilateral presentation of seropositive NMOSD. He was admitted to inpatient rehabilitation with significant functional impairments and reduced independence across self-care and mobility tasks. A multidisciplinary, high-intensity rehabilitation program was implemented, incorporating task-specific training and conventional therapies, along with more unconventional interventions such as manual therapy and dry needling. Throughout his stay, the patient progressed steadily in balance, transfers, gait, and daily activities. At discharge, he demonstrated significant improvements in all self-care and functional mobility scores, reflecting meaningful gains in independence. Further research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and to determine optimal rehabilitation strategies for individuals with NMOSD, particularly those with atypical or focal clinical features.
