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

Despite the recent surge in the use of telerehabilitation (TR) for neurological disorders, there is a lack of TR programs tailored to persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), particularly in low-resource settings. To address this gap, we aimed to develop a tele-assisted home exercise program for improving balance and functional mobility in PwPD (TELEPORT-PD). An e-Delphi process was conducted with an international, interprofessional team of experts involved in rehabilitation of PwPD. A comprehensive pool of exercises was compiled and evaluated across three rounds of e-Delphi process. Out of 473 exercises pooled from literature and experts, 99 exercises entered the e-Delphi process after deduplication and were categorized under six domains. After consensus, the final program included 42 exercises along with dosage, progression, and safety considerations. The TELEPORT-PD protocol developed through an international, e-Delphi consensus could be adapted for its use in low-resource settings worldwide.
