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

Proper rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair (RCR) is necessary for successful postoperative outcomes, though the average course of physical therapy (PT) is lengthy and costly. The goals of this study were to (1) develop exercise programs for the CuffLink mHealth system and (2) evaluate early prototype efforts at meeting the needs of RCR clients. A panel of 24 clinicians participated in a Delphi study to identify consensus in rehabilitation, key informatic needs, and appropriate interface modalities for client usage. Utilizing the Delphi findings, the iA CuffLink mHealth system was developed, and a pilot evaluation assessed the feasibility and usability of CuffLink through the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ). During the pilot evaluation, the overall MAUQ score was 6.14. All participants (n = 18) viewed messaging the care team and a real time rep counter as "important" or "very important". All participants either agreed or strongly agreed that quantifying progress would help motivate them to be compliant, and that the app helped them achieve their recovery outcomes compared to the shoulder device alone. Participants were generally pleased with the ease of use, information arrangement, and usefulness of CuffLink. These findings can advance our understanding of the informatics and usability needs in telerehabilitation systems.
