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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe current pandemic has reduced access to safe, monitored physical activity (PA) programs for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). The use of telerehabilitation has the potential for continuing activity engagement without risking virus exposure. The present study evaluates the feasibility and efficacy of an online group-based PA program for persons with SCI.

methodsThis preliminary pre-post study delivered an online group-based PA program to persons with SCI. The program consisted of 1-hour sessions twice weekly for six weeks. Online PA satisfaction questionnaires were assessed at post-treatment. Psychosocial subscales from the NeuroQOL-SF were assessed.

resultsParticipants were adult females between 3 and 32 years post-injury, 1 tetraplegic and 3 paraplegics (

conclusionThe current pilot study demonstrates the acceptability and limited efficacy of an online PA program for those with SCI. The program resulted in improved overall perceived wellbeing and satisfaction with social roles and activities. These results have important implications for the clinical implementation of online PA programs in a hospital and community setting.
