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

Background: Visuospatial neglect (VSN) affects spatial awareness, leading to functional and motor challenges. This case study explores virtual reality (VR) as a potential complementary tool for VSN rehabilitation. Objective: Specifically, we aim to explore the initial experiences of patients and physiotherapists engaging with a novel protocol, using an audiovisual cue task to support VSN rehabilitation. Methods: A preliminary VR task integrating audiovisual cues was co-designed with 2 physiotherapists. The task was then tested with 2 patients with VSN over 12 sessions. The intervention focused on engaging neglected spatial areas, with physiotherapists adapting the task to individual needs and monitoring responses. Results: Initial testing with 2 trainee physiotherapists indicated high usability, engagement, and perceived safety. Two patients with VSN completed 12 VR sessions. For Patient A, completion times increased following the introduction of an audio cue, though modeling indicated a nonsignificant linear trend (β=0.08; Conclusions: Further research with larger cohorts is needed to confirm the VR task's utility and refine the intervention.
