Exercise perceptions among people with stroke: Barriers and facilitators to participation.
Article in International journal of therapy and rehabilitation, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03985761 (Utilizing Gaming Mechanics to Optimize Telerehabilitation Adherence in Persons With Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimsPeople with stroke continue to lead sedentary lives despite the multiple benefits of exercise. Knowledge regarding stroke survivors' conception of exercise, which is essential for a thorough understanding of the barriers and facilitators to exercise, is lacking. This study aims to explore the perceptions of exercise among stroke survivors, including their concepts and definitions of exercise, as well as their perceptions of barriers and facilitators to exercise.
methodsThis study utilized a qualitative exploratory design. Focus groups were conducted with 11 community dwelling participants with stroke (mean 8 ± 3 years post stroke). Data was analysed using content analysis methods.
findingsSix themes that provided information regarding participants' perceptions of exercise were identified: mobility, balance, self-efficacy, outcomes, support, and exercise as part of an active or healthy lifestyle. Although participants internalized specific benefits of exercise, they did not demonstrate an internalized link between exercise and stroke risk. Low self-efficacy was identified as a barrier to participating in exercise, whereas, support to exercise (e.g., external encouragement, qualified personnel) was identified as a facilitator.
conclusionThese findings may provide insight when developing exercise interventions which optimize adherence for people with stroke.
