Cardiometabolic Effects of High-Intensity Hybrid Functional Electrical Stimulation Exercise after Spinal Cord Injury.
Trial report in PM & R : the journal of injury, function, and rehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06514950 (Yoga Breath Training to Improve Cardiorespiratory Synchrony in Spinal Cord Injury), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
introductionThe prevalence of cardiometabolic disease following spinal cord injury is known to be high. However, it is unknown whether engaging in high-intensity exercise, which is advocated by recent guidelines, is beneficial or feasible for these individuals.
objectiveTo assess the effects of high-intensity, whole-body exercise on the prevalence of cardiometabolic disease in individuals with spinal cord injury.
designCombination of a randomized controlled trial and an open label intervention study of functional electrical stimulation legs plus arms rowing.
settingOutpatient academic rehabilitation hospital.
participantsForty individuals with spinal cord injury, with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairments scales A-D and neurological levels of injury C1-T12.
interventionSix months of high-intensity, hybrid-functional electrical stimulation rowing.
main outcome measuresChange in VO
resultsIndividuals averaged 42.1 ± 22.0 minutes of hybrid-functional electrical stimulation rowing a week over an average of 1.69 sessions per week over the 6 months of intervention. This amounted to an average of 170.9 ± 100 km rowed, at a mean heart rate of 82.7% of individualized maximum. Only one of 40 individuals met current exercise guidelines for the full 6 months. VO
conclusionsSustained high-intensity exercise with hybrid functional electrical stimulation rowing does not decrease the prevalence of cardiometabolic disease after spinal cord injury.
