Post-Hospitalization Telerehabilitation is Acceptable and Feasible for Veterans With Dementia: A Secondary Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 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
objectivesThe objective of this secondary analysis of qualitative data was to examine the acceptability and feasibility of telerehabilitation as a post-acute service delivery model for veterans with dementia.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of qualitative, semistructured interview data from veterans who have a dementia diagnosis and were hospitalized, their care partners, and Department of Veterans Affairs rehabilitation clinicians. We conducted a directed content analysis using a rapid qualitative, deductive team-based approach.
resultsOur analysis of qualitative data from 11 veterans with dementia, 13 care partners, and 23 rehabilitation clinicians (Physical Therapists N = 11, Occupational Therapists N = 12), suggested that perceived telehealth acceptability and feasibility in post-acute care for veterans with dementia were interdependent factors. We identified that acceptability would likely be influenced by subthemes of (1) rehabilitation at the intersection of technology, cognitive impairment, and preferences; (2) telerehabilitation as a supplement to in-person care; and (3) telerehabilitation as a veteran-centered benefit. We also identified that feasibility of telerehabilitation could be supported by (1) veteran and clinician physical space, (2) usable technology with tailored support, (3) telerehabilitation-specific education, and (4) clinical resources and operations. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Telerehabilitation may be an acceptable model for veteran-centric, post-acute care for persons with dementia, particularly if veterans, care partners, and clinicians have support for feasibility. Future research is needed to examine post-acute telerehabilitation implementation, service delivery timing, and influence on patient-centered outcomes.
