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

STUDY

designSystematic scoping review.

objectivesThe aim was to identify and synthesize empirical studies exploring outdoor experiences, activities, and interventions in people with spinal cord injury (SCI).

methodsSystematic searches were performed in 7 bibliometric databases. Unique records were independently screened by 2 authors. Peer-reviewed studies on outdoor experiences, activities, or interventions in adults with SCI were included. This was supplemented by Google Scholar searches and citation tracking. Data from included studies were extracted and analysed in a narrative synthesis.

resultsA total of 89 studies were included. Study findings were catalogued into 9 categories and grouped into 3 themes. Theme 1 covered findings related to the experiences and outcomes of outdoor recreational activities and nature exposure. Theme 2 covered findings on facilitators and barriers related to outdoor recreational activities and nature exposure. Theme 3 covered findings related to outdoor testing of equipment and tools.

conclusionPeople with SCI mainly report positive experiences from engaging with the natural environment and pursuing outdoor activities, but also experienced a range of barriers that need to be considered in both research and clinical practice. Future studies need to explore the effects of outdoor-based rehabilitation, also employing high-quality methods.
