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
Despite the growing use of telehealth in stroke rehabilitation, it remains unclear whether online assessments (i.e., tele-assessment) can match the accuracy of in-person evaluations. Given the high prevalence of stroke and its significant impact on mobility, precise assessment is essential. This study evaluated the reliability and safety of a tele-assessment protocol for mobility and balance in individuals with chronic stroke, using the OMPEPE guideline. Twenty-five participants underwent in-person and synchronous tele-assessment (Timed Up and Go, Five Times Sit-to-Stand, and Functional Reach tests) within 24 to 48 hours. One month later, the same physiotherapist and a second investigator independently scored asynchronous video recordings. Results showed strong agreement between online and in-person assessments, with excellent intra- and inter-rater reliability (ICC > 0.90). Most participants had moderate to severe motor impairment. These findings suggest that tele-assessment is a reliable and safe approach when systematically planned, providing an effective solution for monitoring individuals with chronic stroke conditions when in-person healthcare is not feasible.
