Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy in Stroke Patients: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Revista de neurologia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStroke patients' sensorimotor function is often affected, leading them to experience limitations in daily living activities. Cognitive sensorimotor training therapy, or Perfetti's method, is designed to recuperate both motor and sensory aspects through activating cognitive processes. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive sensorimotor training therapy compared with other interventions in enabling the recovery of upper-limb function after a stroke.
methodsA systematic literature review was conducted on Perfetti's method from the first available publication to January 2026, consulting the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Two independent authors performed the search. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to assess the internal validity.
resultsFour studies with a variety of methodological design were included. Eight outcome variables related to upper limb's recovery were analyzed. Upper-limb function was the most studied outcome, but only one study showed statistically significant differences between groups. Overall, participants undergoing Perfetti's method tended to show greater post-intervention improvements compared with control interventions; however, between-group differences were generally not statistically significant.
conclusionsThe included studies show heterogeneity regarding duration and intensity, among others, and it is difficult to draw robust conclusions. However, the results indicate some clinical benefits of Perfetti's method, although further well-designed studies are needed.
