1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Telerehabilitation has been used in several areas of physical therapy, including for respiratory, neurological, and musculoskeletal functions of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), after stroke, and after hospital discharge (respectively). However, a few studies investigated protocols for assessing vestibular dysfunctions using teleconsultation. Objective: To propose a protocol for remote physical therapy assessment of vestibular dysfunctions. Methods: A literature review on telerehabilitation in physical therapy was conducted in the PubMed and SciELO databases using the search terms Results: The proposed protocol for remote assessment of vestibular dysfunctions comprised anamnesis, adaptations of nine oculomotors, two static balance, and one dynamic gait balance tests, a questionnaire assessing the impact of dizziness on quality of life, and observation of cervical mobility. Conclusion: The protocol may be a valuable tool to assess and monitor the care of patients with vestibular dysfunction, reducing healthcare costs for the therapist and patient and enabling the attendance of those with difficulties in traveling to the rehabilitation center or needing isolation.
