A Narrative Review on Mobile Health (mHealth) App for Stroke Care and Rehabilitation Intervention for Malaysia.
Article in The Malaysian journal of medical sciences : MJMS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The 2019 COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant challenges in global healthcare. In Malaysia, limitations in stroke care and the lack of digital interventions highlighted gaps in supporting the stroke community, increasing caregiver burdens and undermining the nation's stroke care system. The study is conducted to explore evidences about the digital health in stroke care and rehabilitation, especially for home-based care in Malaysia, including the current status and the availability of intervention modules. The literature search for this narrative review was conducted across databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and others. Approximately 250 articles were identified through a combination of database searches and manual selection using keywords such as "stroke rehabilitation," "digital health," "mHealth," "caregiver burden," and "Malaysia". After screening 127 articles based on their titles and abstracts, 80 full-text articles were assessed for relevance to the review's inclusion criteria. Ultimately, 58 studies (research articles and website sources) were included in the final review, focusing on stroke rehabilitation, caregiver burden, and digital health interventions, particularly mobile health (mHealth) solutions. The results are presented in summative paragraphs of reviews complementing subtopics in order to reach final conclusion and future directions. The subtopics are: i) Understanding stroke and caregiver's burden; ii) Stroke in global digital health; iii) Stroke intervention modules for web-based and smartphone applications; and iv) Malaysia, mobile health (mHealth) and stroke intervention module. Evidence suggests that Malaysia still falls short in meeting the needs of the stroke community, and that stroke care must be made available through digital means.
