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

contextTo improve physical activity (PA) participation in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), an international panel co-created theory- and evidence-based best practices for SCI PA counseling. This study aimed to identify and compare Canadian and Dutch counselors' knowledge, skills, and confidence in using these best practices.

methodsAn online survey was conducted in Canada and the Netherlands. Respondents were included if they worked or volunteered as exercise/lifestyle counselor, recreation therapist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or peer mentor and were planning to provide counseling in the next 12 months. Chi-square tests, t-tests and linear regression analyses were used to compare groups.

resultsCanadian (

conclusionsThe generally high counseling skills reported by Canadian and Dutch respondents may be due to the history of SCI-specific PA promotion projects conducted in both countries. These survey findings were used to inform the development of evidence-based training modules on SCI PA counseling. This study may inspire cross-country collaboration and exchange to optimize the organization and delivery of PA counseling services for adults with SCI.
