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
backgroundPhysical activity and exercise are different constructs. However, professionals usually employ heterogeneous definitions for these distinct constructs, resulting in nonspecific and inaccurate assessments, which compromise clinical decision making. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to verify if the levels of physical activity behave similarly between individuals with stroke and healthy-control individuals with the same levels of exercise.
methodsSeventy-five stroke survivors and 75 healthy-control individuals matched by levels of exercise, age, and sex were evaluated. The level of exercise was classified as inactive, insufficient, and moderate/vigorous according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. The level of physical activity was assessed with the Human Activity Profile (HAP) and classified as "inactive," "moderately active," and "active." The physical activity level was compared between groups of subjects (stroke versus healthy-control) and subgroups of the level of exercise ("inactive," "insufficient," and "moderate/vigorous" level of exercise) (α = 5%).
resultsStroke survivors had a significantly lower level of physical activity (HAP: 51 ± 22 and 71 ± 19 points, respectively). Only for individuals with stroke, a statistically significant difference was found in the levels of physical activity between subgroups of level of exercise, specifically between "inactive" and "moderate/vigorous" subgroups (HAP:47 ± 22 and 70 ± 8 points, respectively).
conclusionsPhysical activity behaved differently between individuals with stroke and healthy-control individuals with the same levels of exercise. Individuals with stroke had worse physical activity levels than matched controls. Furthermore, different from individuals with stroke, in healthy-control individuals with different levels of exercise, the level of physical activity was similar.
