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
[Purpose] This study reports: (Aim 1) a feasibility study of a distributed supervision model (DSG) within a smartphone-guided home stroke rehabilitation program incorporating functional electrical stimulation (FES); and (Aim 2) a retrospective cohort comparison of DSG outcomes against a previously published front-loaded supervision group (FSG). [Participants and Methods] Thirty-one adults with chronic hemiparetic stroke (onset >6 months) completed a 6-week multicomponent home exercise program (3 sessions/week, 1 hour/session) incorporating gait, strength, and balance training with FES delivered via smartphone app. FSG (n=12) received 2 weeks of supervised onboarding followed by 4 weeks of independent home training. DSG (n=19) received one supervised and two independent sessions weekly. Pre- and post-assessments included the 10-Meter Walk Test, Mini-BESTest, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go, and 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test. [Results] No adverse events were reported. Both groups demonstrated high adherence (DSG: 90.3 ± 10.2%; FSG: 87.3 ± 8.7%) and significant within-group improvements across all outcomes, exceeding minimal clinically important differences. Between-group comparisons showed significantly greater improvements in the DSG on the 30STS (Welch's t, p<0.001, d=1.57, achieved power=0.98) and TUG (p=0.020, d=0.74, achieved power=0.48); contrasts for BBS, Mini-BESTest, and 10MWT were non-significant with low achieved power (0.05-0.21) and are reported as inconclusive. All findings should be interpreted as preliminary given the retrospective, non-randomized design. [Conclusion] Both supervision models demonstrated high feasibility, safety, and clinically meaningful functional gains. Supervision timing may influence the magnitude of functional gains and warrants investigation in future randomized trials.
