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

backgroundTelerehabilitation is used for delivering rehabilitation interventions, assessments, and education remotely by communication technology. The current study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to discover research trends and knowledge mapping of telerehabilitation in patients with cerebral palsy. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis descriptive-analytical study was conducted using a bibliometric analysis. The Web of Science was searched and 1,222 records were retrieved from the beginning to January 2024. The usual bibliometric rules were applied using the VOSviewer software for data processing. Also, this study used the LDA algorithm for topic modeling with Python.

resultsThe findings indicate that the trend of research in the telerehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy is continuously increasing. Universities and institutions with high publication volumes are mainly institutions from the United States and Canada. The results demonstrates that the co-authorship network of researchers has an average density. Co-occurrence analysis primarily focuses on subjects such as rehabilitation, children, robots, virtual reality for walking and mobility. This research represents the latest evidence-based insights aimed at not only organizing existing knowledge but also assisting researchers and policymakers in achieving a better understanding of telerehabilitation interventions for cerebral palsy patients.

conclusionAccording to the findings of this research, both the speed of evolution and diversity in telerehabilitation interventions and the amount of access and utilization of these interventions by cerebral palsy patients is high.
