Effects of remote rehabilitation weekend training for stroke patients in China: a randomised controlled trial protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionStroke is one of the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide, particularly in China, where it imposes significant economic and psychological burdens on patients and their families. Traditional in-hospital rehabilitation is often limited by resource constraints, leading to interruptions in weekend therapy, which can delay recovery. Remote rehabilitation platforms offer a potential solution by providing continuous, therapist-guided rehabilitation training during weekends. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a remote rehabilitation training platform in improving motor function, self-efficacy and social participation in stroke patients while also assessing its impact on caregiver burden. The findings will provide evidence for the integration of remote rehabilitation into stroke care protocols, offering a scalable solution to enhance recovery and reduce societal costs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A total of 168 stroke patients will be recruited from three hospitals in Shanghai and randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. A remote rehabilitation platform will be used to perform guided exercises on weekends for the intervention group, whereas the control group will receive standard in-hospital rehabilitation. Primary outcomes will be assessed using the 10 metre walk test, and secondary outcomes will include the Barthel Index, Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment and Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institutional Review Board of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Ethics Approval Number: 2024-2-14-01). All participants will provide written informed consent prior to enrolment. Trial results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, presentations at international stroke and rehabilitation conferences, and engagement with patient advocacy groups. Findings will also be shared with healthcare policymakers to promote the integration of remote rehabilitation into clinical practice. Individual participant data will remain confidential and be stored securely in accordance with data protection regulations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: This trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Registration number: ChiCTR2500101741). The date of registration was 29 April 2025.
