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: Leveraging digital technologies in health care is recognized as essential for effective and efficient services. However, significant challenges remain in implementing these technologies in stroke rehabilitation practice, and research on their influence is limited. Objective: This study aimed to explore the current influence of digital technologies on stroke rehabilitation practices and consider how these technologies could shape the future landscape of rehabilitation for multidisciplinary health care professionals in poststroke rehabilitation. Methods: A qualitative, exploratory design was used. Data were collected from 12 experienced multidisciplinary health care professionals at 2 Norwegian rehabilitation settings via semistructured interviews, and the data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Data analysis was guided by social practice theory. Results: The 12 participants included experienced physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurses, physicians, and social workers. The following three main themes were generated: (1) Outsourcing information about and to stroke survivors: coordination and continuity within and across services (subthemes on follow-up and interservice collaboration, and user-centered approaches); (2) Navigating the ambivalence of remaining human relations in digital psychosocial support conversations (highlighting multidisciplinary challenges in building relational depth and addressing sensitive topics); and (3) Enhancing digital supplements for assessment and engagement in motor rehabilitation (subthemes on progress monitoring and motor skills exercises). Overall, the use of digital technologies in specialized stroke rehabilitation practices was seen as an adjunct to practices. While digital technologies influenced rehabilitation practices, ambivalence and challenges were noted, particularly in digitalizing multidisciplinary psychological support and exercise programs. Systems for sharing medical records and goal-setting apps, which enhance coordination and involve stroke survivors, were emphasized as future digital technologies that can shape stroke rehabilitation. Conclusions: Health care professionals used various technologies in their daily specialist practices, as well as for the coordination and follow-up of stroke survivors after referral to community services. This study identified several organizational processes, roles, standards, and rules that can act as barriers or drivers to implementing digital technologies in practice. Viewing familiar digital technology as a supplement to existing practices, rather than as a singular solution for all areas of specialized stroke rehabilitation, offers significant potential for quality improvement. These findings provide valuable insights for technology developers, health care personnel, and user groups in specialized neurological rehabilitation settings.
