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

backgroundDigital therapy applications offer great potential to improve the therapeutic care of patients with musculoskeletal complaints and contribute to maintaining their ability to work. AIM OF THE STUDY: The study summarizes the current status of studies on the use of digital therapy applications recognized by the pension insurance in the orthopaedic field of prevention, rehabilitation, and rehabilitation aftercare and describes their effectiveness. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe review was designed as a scoping review. Quantitative outcome measures such as ability to work, health-related quality of life, or sports medicine assessments were extracted and reported. The characteristics of the studies included were compared in tabular form.

resultsDigital therapy programs were well accepted and proved to be comparably effective to traditional formats, with context-specific advantages for some outcome parameters. DISCUSSION: Digital therapies are an effective therapy format with flexibility in terms of location and time.
