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.

Abstract

backgroundPost-stroke physical inactivity is explained by several factors related to the stroke, which have been suggested as the causes and consequences of functional declines and health problems. Therefore, it is important to increase physical activity levels and reduce the time spent in low-energy expenditure activities after a stroke. Since the maintenance of cardiorespiratory fitness is a significant predictor of physical activity levels post-stroke, it may be important to investigate whether aerobic training is effective in increasing physical activity levels and reducing the time spent in low-energy expenditure activities in this population. The efficacy of aerobic training on these variables is not well known. The primary objective of this trial will be to investigate the effects of aerobic treadmill training on physical activity levels and on time spent in low-energy expenditure activities in people with stroke. The secondary aim will be to evaluate the effects of the training on cardiorespiratory fitness, endurance, depression, mobility, quality of life, and participation. METHODS/

designA randomized controlled trial, with blinded assessments, will be performed in a community-based setting. Altogether, 22 adults with a diagnosis of stroke (>6 months) who are sedentary or insufficiently active will be included. Participants will be randomly assigned to either: (1) aerobic treadmill training (experimental group, at 60-80% of their heart rate reserve) or (2) walking outside (control group, below 40% of heart rate reserve). Both groups will attend 40-min training sessions, three times per week over 12 weeks, in groups of two to four participants, with a trained physiotherapist. Primary outcomes are physical activity levels and time spent in low-energy expenditure activities (Multi-sensor SenseWear Mini® and Human Activity Profile). Secondary outcomes are cardiorespiratory fitness (peak oxygen uptake VO DISCUSSION: The results of this trial will likely provide valuable new information on the effects of aerobic treadmill training on physical activity levels and on time spent in low-energy expenditure activities of individuals with stroke, through changes in cardiorespiratory fitness.
