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

Physical activity is essential to a healthy lifestyle for adults with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Although exercise is recognised as an important tool for improving the well-being and independence of people with SCI, most individuals do not engage in physical exercise. Traditional exercise programmes often require participation in rehabilitation centres or specialised facilities, making them less accessible for individuals with chronic SCI. Many people with SCI live in rural communities and other geographically isolated areas where access to fitness facilities and outdoor recreational areas involves long commutes or expensive transportation, which is one of the most common barriers to exercise reported by people with physical disabilities. Consequently, exercise remains an underused intervention for improving health and function in people with SCI despite its proven effects in reducing pain, fatigue, fall risk and other secondary health conditions. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based supervised exercise programme for individuals with chronic SCI. The study will be an interventional and prospective pilot study. People with SCI will participate in a 3-month home-based exercise programme. Primary outcomes will include adherence to the exercise programme, while secondary outcomes will encompass quality of life, functional capacity, musculoskeletal health and clinical parameters. The programme will be structured into 1-hour sessions, held twice weekly for 3 months, conducted online and in small groups. The results of this study could be relevant for future indications of the best setting and strategy to ensure adherence to physical activity.
