Effect of Home-based Telerehabilitation on Balance, Functional Mobility, and Quality of Life in Persons with Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in International journal of telerehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) require ongoing rehabilitation to maintain independence, but traditional center-based and unsupervised home programs have limitations in accessibility and adherence. Home-based telerehabilitation (TR) offers a promising alternative by enabling remote delivery of exercise interventions. Objective: To evaluate the effect of home-based TR on balance, functional mobility, and quality of life in PwPD. Methods: A comprehensive electronic search was conducted across PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, OvidSP, ProQuest, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and PEDro databases. Interventional studies on exercise-centric home-based TR for PwPD with either balance, functional mobility, or quality of life as outcomes were included. Results: A total of 37 studies were included in this systematic review, of which 13 were eligible for meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed small but significant improvements in balance (SMD = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.45; p = 0.02). and functional mobility (SMD = -0.28; 95% CI: -0.52 to -0.05; p = 0.02). However, no significant effect was observed for quality of life (SMD = -0.08; 95% CI: -0.25 to 0.09; p = 0.35). Conclusion: Home-based TR is effective for improving balance and functional mobility in PwPD, although, its effect on quality of life is unclear which warrants further research.
