EngageHealth: a mobile device application designed to deliver stroke rehabilitation exercises using asynchronous video recordings.
Article in Frontiers in stroke, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: Stroke survivors who receive more rehabilitation therapy achieve better functional outcomes. The amount of rehabilitation that patients receive is, however, limited due to constraints of the healthcare system. Objective: To assess whether EngageHealth, a mobile device application designed to deliver stroke rehabilitation exercises using asynchronous video recordings, increases the amount of outpatient rehabilitation in stroke patients and improves their upper extremity function and quality of life. Design: Prospective single-arm study consisting of a 2-week pre-intervention phase without EngageHealth followed by a 4-week intervention period with EngageHealth. Setting: Ambulatory care. Participants: Twenty-four stroke patients with upper extremity impairment were recruited at the Stanford Stroke Center outpatient clinic. Interventions: Participants were instructed to use the EngageHealth application daily. Main outcome measures: Adherence, user experience, and change in the upper extremity Fugl-Meyer (UE-FM), Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QoL), and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS). Results: Of 23 participants, five (22%) used the application for 17 days, six (26%) used the application for 9-16 days, and 12 (52%) used it < 9 days. Sixty-three percent of participants would recommend the application to other stroke survivors, with fifty percent indicating they would continue using the application, if available. During the pre-intervention phase, there were no changes in hand function. During the intervention period, participants improved by 4 points on the UE-FM ( Conclusions: Use of the EngageHealth application in the home environment may improve upper extremity function in subacute/chronic stroke patients. Additional support strategies should be implemented in future studies to improve adherence. These findings from a prospective single-arm study, support the design of a randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of long-term use of the EngageHealth application.
