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
introductionRehabilitation pathways for patients with brain tumors are often heterogeneous and poorly standardized, limiting clinicians' ability to implement evidence-based interventions. Aim of this scoping review is to systematically map and synthesize the available evidence on rehabilitation strategies for adults with brain tumors, with a focus on clinical pathways, timing, and implementation practices.
methodsA scoping review was conducted according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and selected organizational websites up to December 2025. Eligible sources included clinical guidelines, consensus statements, and position papers addressing rehabilitation in adults with primary brain tumors. Systematic reviews, observational studies, and one randomized controlled trial were additionally included as contextual evidence to support interpretation of rehabilitation needs and implementation practices.
resultsSeventeen documents met inclusion criteria, including five guidelines or consensus documents and twelve contextual evidence sources. Across documents, multidisciplinary rehabilitation was consistently recommended, particularly for patients with motor, cognitive, or language impairments. Early and longitudinal rehabilitation approaches were advocated, although referral pathways and implementation practices remained inconsistent. Major gaps included limited tumor-specific protocols, under-referral, and uncertainty regarding optimal rehabilitation settings.
conclusionsRehabilitation should be integrated early and longitudinally across the PBT care continuum. Standardized, tumor-specific pathways and further high-quality research are urgently needed.
