Effects of moderate- and high-intensity aerobic training program in ambulatory subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury-a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Spinal cord, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

designRandomized controlled trial.
objectivesTo investigate if high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exhibits a higher increase in physical capacity and activity levels compared to moderate-intensity training (MIT) and treatment as usual.
settingSunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital.
methodsThirty ambulatory participants with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) were recruited at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. Two intervention groups performed a 12-week individual training program at home by walking or running, depending on their physical ability. The MIT group was instructed to exercise three times a week at 70% of maximal heart rate (HRmax), while the HIIT group was instructed to exercise twice a week at 85-95% of HRmax. The control group received treatment as usual. Pre- and post-tests consisted of maximal exercise testing on a treadmill (peak oxygen uptake (peak VO
resultsThe HIIT, MIT, and control groups showed an increase in peak VO
conclusionsPerforming HIIT did not exhibit a greater increase in physical capacity and activity levels than performing MIT or "treatment as usual" in ambulatory participants with SCI. Further studies are needed to elucidate both short- and long-term effects of HIIT and MIT in this SCI subpopulation.
