1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Collaboration among health and non-health professionals is growing exponentially as we approach the personalized medicine era, where the intervention plan is tailored according to the patient's needs. This collaboration aims to develop highly efficient, patient-centered, holistic approaches, rather than singular interventions. Interdisciplinary rehabilitation is a rising theme to coordinate the efforts of various professionals, with the ultimate goal of increasing rehabilitants' satisfaction and improving their overall quality of life. A typical rehabilitation team may comprise a rehabilitation physician, rehabilitation nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, speech and language therapist, clinical psychologist, social worker, prosthetist, orthotist, rehabilitation engineer, and dietician. The need for inclusion of additional professions in the rehabilitation team is dynamic and varies depending on the population and health condition. Recently, various countries have begun incorporating interdisciplinary rehabilitation models into their healthcare frameworks. For example, the U.S. Veterans Affairs Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers have set a precedent for integrating interdisciplinary approaches into neurological rehabilitation, while European nations such as Germany and Sweden have successfully implemented stroke and pain rehabilitation programs. Although interdisciplinary rehabilitation has demonstrated effectiveness in improving patient outcomes, further research is required to explore its long-term benefits, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability in resource-limited settings. In this mini-review, we summarize the current evidence on employing interdisciplinary rehabilitation in patients with neurological disorders and highlight the implications for future research and clinical practice.
