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

Objective: Individually tailored exercise is the first-line treatment for chronic low back pain. Today, physiotherapists offer various forms of telerehabilitation, such as real-time exercise programmes via videoconferencing. However, these approaches have been sparsely studied. Knowledge of participants' experiences is limited, and a deeper understanding is essential for planning and implementing telerehabilitation. The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of individuals with chronic low back pain participating in exercise-based real-time group telerehabilitation. Methods: This study is part of an ongoing randomized controlled trial ( Results: The analysis resulted in four categories and 11 sub-categories. The categories were: conditions influencing the telerehabilitation experience, a tailored telerehabilitation programme, the dual nature of remote interaction, and enhanced physical function and well-being. These categories led to an overarching theme: real-time telerehabilitation was efficient and accessible. Conclusion: This interview study shows that physiotherapist-led real-time group telerehabilitation is perceived as efficient and accessible, though not without challenges. These findings enhance our understanding of telerehabilitation and suggest that telerehabilitation may complement conventional rehabilitation, offering comparable efficiency while improving accessibility.
