Jonathan S Tsay, Carolee J Winstein
PMID 33243083WHAT IT FOUND
Five features are suggested for reading early-phase neurorehabilitation studies, but the article reports no patients, outcomes, or tested intervention.
It does not change practice.
What this paper is
This article is a guide for reading early-phase neurorehabilitation intervention studies. It describes five features to look for in the introduction, methods, results, discussion, and participant perspective, but reports no patients, no outcomes, and no tested intervention, so there is nothing here to change your practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the five suggested features as proof that an intervention works. The article reports no patients, outcomes, or tested intervention.
