Home-based Hybrid Assistive Limb Lumbar Type Telerehabilitation in Spinocerebellar Ataxias: A Nonrandomized Open-label Trial.
Trial report in Cerebellum (London, England), 2025. 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
A hybrid assistive limb (HAL) can improve the motor performance of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases, but the efficacy of home-based rehabilitation using HAL for spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) has yet to be elucidated. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of home-based telerehabilitation with lumbar type HAL in patients with SCA. In this non-randomized open-label single center trial, all participants underwent a 20-min home-based telerehabilitation program using the HAL lumbar type three times a week for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), and secondary outcomes were the scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA), 10-m walk test, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), cerebellar cognitive affective/Schmahmann Syndrome Scale (CCAS-S), visual analogue scale, and clinical global impressions (CGI) scale. The assessments were conducted pre- and post-intervention and at 4 and 12 weeks after completion of the 4-week HAL rehabilitation. There was a non-significant mean change in TUG of - 1.3 s after the intervention (p = 0.051) but significant improvements in BBS (2.6 points; p = 0.011) and CCAS-S (3.7 points; p = 0.027). All participants completed the 4-week rehabilitation without any serious adverse events or dropout. Home-based telerehabilitation with HAL lumbar type is feasible and safe for patients with SCA. Despite its efficacy on TUG not being demonstrated, telerehabilitation improved balance and cognitive function in patients with SCA.
