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
Background: Exergames have gained attention as interactive technologies that combine exercise and gaming to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. Despite their potential, their use in clinical practice remains limited in Saudi Arabia. A validated survey was administered to healthcare practitioners to investigate their familiarity and attitudes (advantages and barriers) towards the utilisation of exergames in rehabilitation settings. Objective: The objective was to identify the factors influencing the successful implementation of exergames as a therapeutic modality. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to investigate healthcare practitioners' familiarity and attitudes towards exergames in rehabilitation settings in Saudi Arabia. A survey was developed to encompass these three constructs. A conceptual framework for the survey was established through a comprehensive literature review and expert consultation to ensure the content's validity and comprehensiveness. Results: A total of 244 responses were received, mainly from physiotherapists and occupational therapists. The findings indicated that the use of exergames in rehabilitation was limited, with only 17% of healthcare practitioners ( Conclusion: The reported advantages of using exergames significantly outweighed the perceived barriers, suggesting a positive attitude and high acceptance rate among healthcare practitioners in Saudi Arabia towards this technology.
