The impact of cycling on the physical and mental health, and quality of life of people with disabilities: a scoping review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Adaptive cycling holds potential for promoting physical and mental health among individuals with disabilities, who often face barriers to traditional cycling and other forms of exercise. This scoping review systematically examines existing scientific literature to assess the effects of adaptive cycling on the physical and mental health of individuals with disabilities. Following a widely recognized methodological scoping review framework, 35 qualitative and quantitative studies were identified through comprehensive database searches and manual screenings. The review highlights the positive impacts of adaptive cycling on cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and overall physical well-being, as well as improvements in mental health and quality of life. Despite these benefits, significant research gaps remain, particularly concerning adaptive cycling modalities, such as sociable cycles, chair transporters, and power-assisted bikes, which were underrepresented in the existing literature. This review underscores the need for further studies to provide a comprehensive understanding on the effects of different adaptive cycling modalities. Such studies are essential to improve accessibility and ultimately support the health and social inclusion of individuals with disabilities.
