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

ObjectiveTo synthesise the evidence of the effectiveness of interventions to increase levels of physical activity or reduce levels of sedentary activity of inpatients after a new stroke.Data sourcesMedline, PsychINFO, AMED and CINAHL were search between inception and June 2025 for randomised controlled studies of in-hospital interventions for adults after stroke which measured physical activity.Review methodsInterventions were grouped by common components. For each intervention group, the outcomes of physical activity (primary outcome), physical functional ability, and quality of life were analysed with meta-analysis. Adverse events were synthesised narratively.ResultsTen studies (696 participants) were included in the review. General activity feedback (SMD = 0.52, 95% CI: -0.07 to 1.10;
