A Systematic Scoping Review of Poststroke Engagement in Physical Activity.
Review in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To synthesize knowledge about physical activity engagement in community living stroke survivors. Data Sources: Six electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO/PsycARTICLES, and Web of Science) were searched between April 2023 and March 2024. Search parameters were set from database inception to 2024. Study Selection: Studies were included if they were randomized controlled trials, (quasi)experimental, cross-sectional, or cohort/longitudinal; published in English; focused on measuring or promoting physical activity during rehabilitation or the postrehabilitation phase; and participants were at least 18 years old, living in the community, and had a clinical diagnosis of stroke. Data Extraction: Data extracted included general study information; study design; participant characteristics; type of physical activity; program characteristics; type of support provided, type of physical activity engagement measure; and engagement outcomes and rates. Data Synthesis: Twenty-one studies were included in this review; 6 promoted or measured physical activity as part of formal rehabilitation programs and 15 measured physical activity postrehabilitation. More than half of the studies reported low physical activity engagement. Eleven studies used objective measures of physical activity, whereas 8 used subjective measures and 2 used both. Only the 6 formal rehabilitation programs provided additional support for physical activity engagement, but the support was generally not underpinned by motivational theory or evidence. Walking and walk-related tasks were the most promoted type of physical activity poststroke. Conclusions: We recommend that future interventions provide additional support for engagement that is underpinned by contemporary motivation theory. The type of support offered should differ depending on whether physical activity is part of a formal rehabilitation program or simply encouraged during postrehabilitation.
