Personalized exercise programs improve health-related quality of life in individuals with spinal cord injuries: an exploratory randomized clinical trial.
Article in Physical activity and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the effects of personalized exercise programs on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in people with spinal cord injury (SCIs).
methodsSeventeen participants with SCIs (exercise group, n = 11; control group, n = 6) were enrolled in this single-blind, two-arm, pilot, randomized controlled trial. The exercise group participated in a 6-week supervised program, three times per week for 60 min per session. The program included aerobic and resistance exercises based on the level, comorbidities, and functional capacity of each participant. The exercise intensity and modality were adjusted weekly to ensure safety and progression. The HRQOL was measured at baseline and post-intervention using a short-form Health Survey-36.
resultsParticipation in the six-week personalized exercise program significantly improved health-related quality of life in the exercise group compared to the control group. Notable improvements were observed in physical functioning (26.4 ± 21.8 to 40.9 ± 26.0, p < 0.05), bodily pain (63.0 ± 12.0 to 73.9 ± 10.4, p < 0.05), general health (48.2 ± 22.4 to 55.5 ± 15.7, p < 0.05), vitality (50.9 ± 18.3 to 60.0 ± 21.3, p < 0.05), role-emotional (57.6 ± 39.7 to 75.8 ± 42.4, p < 0.05), and mental health (65.8 ± 15.8 to 71.3 ± 18.8, p < 0.05).
conclusionA six-week personalized exercise intervention incorporating individually prescribed aerobic and resistance training was associated with significant improvements in HRQOL among individuals with SCIs.
