Quality Appraisal of Telerehabilitation Guidelines: A Systematic Review.
Review in International journal of telemedicine and applications, 2026. 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: Telerehabilitation is an expanding domain of telehealth offering remote rehabilitation services. The quality of clinical guidelines, despite significant growth, is highly inconsistent, which may affect the quality of care and policy execution. We endeavored to systematically assess the quality of general telerehabilitation guidelines using the AGREE II instrument. Methods: A systematic search of six databases and grey literature identified 2575 records. After screening and eligibility assessment, seven guidelines were appraised independently by two reviewers using the AGREE II tool, covering six quality domains. Results: Only the American Physical Therapy Association's 2024 guideline was rated high quality across all domains. Three guidelines were rated medium quality and recommended with modifications. The remaining three were deemed low quality due to weak methodological rigor and limited stakeholder involvement. Conclusion: The quality of telerehabilitation guidelines differs significantly, and high-quality, evidence-based, and inclusive guidelines are essential for promoting secure, efficient, and telerehabilitation practices globally.
