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

backgroundTelerehabilitation has become an important tool for the recovery of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients, allowing treatment to be continued remotely for this and other pathologies. Self-efficacy plays a key role in motivating and ensuring adherence to these programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on self-efficacy (GSES) and sport motivation (BRSQ-36) and analyze the correlation between self-efficacy and physical condition after a program composed of therapeutic exercises and education. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis pilot randomized controlled trial included 35 post-discharge COVID-19, with two groups: an asynchronous telerehabilitation and a booklet-based rehabilitation groups who undertook a 12-week intervention of therapeutic exercise and education..

resultsThe telerehabilitation group showed better results in all variables analyzed, with moderate and large clinical changes in overall motivation

conclusionsThe findings highlight the potential of asynchronous telerehabilitation to improve self-efficacy and extrinsic motivation in a short period of time, which could facilitate better adherence to rehabilitation programs and improve physical condition. However, the results seem to be limited in the long term.
