A systematic review of measures of adherence to physical exercise recommendations in people with stroke.
Synthesis in Clinical rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objective: To review methods for measuring adherence to exercise or physical activity practice recommendations in the stroke population and evaluate measurement properties of identified tools. DATA SOURCES:: Two systematic searches were conducted in eight databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, Sports Discus, PEDro, PubMed and EMBASE). Phase 1 was conducted to identify measures. Phase 2 was conducted to identify studies investigating properties of these measures. REVIEW
methods: Phase 1 articles were selected if they were published in English, included participants with stroke, quantified adherence to exercise or physical activity recommendations, were patient or clinician reported, were defined and reproducible measures and included patients >18 years old. In phase 2, articles were included if they explored psychometric properties of the identified tools. Included articles were screened based on title/abstract and full-text review by two independent reviewers.
results: In phase 1, seven methods of adherence measurement were identified, including logbooks ( n = 16), diaries ( n = 18), 'record of practice' ( n = 3), journals ( n = 1), surveys ( n = 2) and questionnaires ( n = 4). One measurement tool was identified, the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities ( n = 4). In phase 2, no eligible studies were identified.
conclusion: There is not a consistent measure of adherence that is currently utilized. Diaries and logbooks are the most frequently utilized tools.
