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: To evaluate the efficacy of in-person physical therapy (PT) coupled with remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) compared to in-person PT only on patient outcomes and care delivery. Design: A case-control study. Setting: 95 private practice physical therapy clinics. RTM is delivered at home via a mobile application. Participants: Inclusion criteria included: (1) Adults ≥18 years of age, (2) musculoskeletal diagnosis, (3) clinician-prescribed PT, (4) at least 2 outcome measures. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in RTM. A control group was generated using 3:1 matching based on: age, sex, case type, and intake patient-reported outcome score. Three hundred and six cases for the in-person PT + RTM group (N = 306) and 918 (N = 918) controls were identified. Interventions: RTM Patients were enrolled in a home exercise program administered through a mobile application, with digital exercise therapy videos and care navigation support. Both RTM and control patients were enrolled in in-person PT. Main Outcome Measures: Achieving the discharge functional status score as measured by the binary yes/no Functional Status Benchmark. Results: A significantly greater proportion of PT + RTM patients achieved the Functional Statue Benchmark (72%) compared to the control group (63%, Conclusions: The inclusion of RTM with in-person PT facilitated better patient engagement and patient-reported outcomes compared to in-person PT only.
