Rehabilitation for functional enhancement of myasthenia gravis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in eNeurologicalSci, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness and fatigue. This review evaluated the current evidence on the efficacy, tolerance and adherence of rehabilitative interventions. Based on the PRISMA guidelines, 445 articles were identified from major scientific databases. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 6 studies were included in the final analysis. Two primary rehabilitative strategies - physical and respiratory training - were identified. The results of the systematic review and meta-analysis showed that both interventions improved functional capacity and enhanced the quality of life, with good tolerance and high adherence. This review summarizes the effects of rehabilitative interventions on improving 6-min walk distance (6MWD), quality of life (MG-QOL15), and respiratory function (FEV1 and FVC) in MG patients. One study was rated as high quality (OCEBM level 1b), and five as moderate quality (OCEBM level 2b). Five findings were established and rated as Grade B, according to the OCEBM recommendations. This review demonstrated the potential of structured rehabilitation programs to improve functioning and quality of life in patients with MG, while highlighting the need for further research to optimize and standardize these interventions.
