Multidisciplinary rehabilitation and eye tracker-assisted communication in locked-in syndrome: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 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
Background: Locked-in syndrome (LIS) is a rare and severe neurological condition characterized by quadriplegia and anarthria with preserved consciousness. Communication impairment is a major barrier to psychosocial adaptation and long-term rehabilitation. A new rehabilitation strategy is needed to restore multi-sensory impairments. Case presentation: A patient underwent eye tracker therapy as part of a comprehensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation program following the diagnosis of LIS, which aimed to improve ocular scanning and gaze patterns to enable the patient to communicate using ocular motor signals. The effects and applications of eye-tracking in the neurorehabilitation of patients with Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) were synthesized in a brief review. After a three-month period of rehabilitation, the patient showed improved communication ability and better psychosocial adaptation, suggesting that eye-tracker assisted communication may be a useful adjunct within multidisciplinary rehabilitation for selected patients with LIS. Conclusion: This case highlighted the importance of eye trackers and multidisciplinary rehabilitation for LIS to address communication disorders and other dysfunctions in patients, which would help patients return to their families and society as soon as possible.
