A review of research progress of mirror therapy in peripheral nerve injury.
Review in Frontiers in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Mirror therapy, as a novel rehabilitation approach, has been widely applied in the treatment of various diseases, including post-stroke limb dysfunction, unilateral neglect, peripheral facial paralysis, complex regional pain syndrome, and childhood cerebral palsy. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of mirror therapy in treating peripheral nerve injuries, expand the scope of diseases to which mirror therapy can be applied, and provide a novel treatment strategy for peripheral nerve injuries. Methods: This study conducted a comprehensive search and analysis of relevant clinical research on mirror therapy for peripheral nerve injuries, providing theoretical and clinical basis for the application of mirror therapy in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. Results: Based on a comprehensive analysis of seven clinical studies, it can be concluded that mirror therapy (MT) has a positive effect on improving motor function. Conclusion: Mirror therapy is characterized by its simplicity, economy and non-invasiveness. It is an effective rehabilitation technique for treating peripheral nerve injuries and is suitable for low-cost, long-term home-based rehabilitation. It can be combined with conventional therapies to jointly promote the recovery of motor functions and accelerate the plastic regeneration of nerves.
