Effects of telerehabilitation monitored home-based therapies on upper extremity function-related outcomes in children and adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy: A systematic review.

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
introductionChildren and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) demonstrate proficient function if they can perform all tasks required for daily living. Telerehabilitation (TR) and monitoring can facilitate the execution of home-based (HB) therapies. This systematic review aimed to assess the scientific evidence regarding the effects of TR-monitored HB therapies on outcomes related to upper extremity function in children and adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP).MethodsComprehensive searches were conducted across online databases, including the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and PEDro, as well as additional sources, from inception to October 2025. The inclusion criteria encompassed randomized controlled trials, whose risk of bias and methodological quality were evaluated using the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool and the PEDro scale, respectively. A narrative synthesis approach was employed for data analysis.ResultsTR-monitored HB therapies showed positive improvements in hand coordination, dexterity, bimanual hand function, ADL motor and processing skills, occupational performance, and execution of functional goals in children and adolescents with UCP (predominantly spastic UCP studies) compared with the control interventions.ConclusionsTelerehabilitation-monitored HB therapies showed potential to improve upper extremity function-related outcomes in children and adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy (predominantly spastic UCP studies).
