Adherence to exercise rehabilitation programmes in stroke survivors: a scoping review.
Article in BMJ open sport & exercise medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objectives: To identify how exercise adherence is reported in research which focuses on enhancing cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in stroke survivors. Design: Systematic scoping review. Data sources: Scopus, PubMED/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO/PsycARTICLES and Web of Science. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: The review sought published reports involving a cardiorespiratory or resistance training exercise intervention for people who experienced a stroke ≥6 months prior to participation. Reports were screened by two reviewers and were assessed for methodological quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results: 37 reports (randomised trials=30, interventions without control=5, non-randomised trial=1, dose escalation trial=1; total n=1347 participants) out of 6732 records met the inclusion criteria. 29 reports (78%) documented intervention adherence by describing participant completion rates, indicating 65-100% adherence. Conclusion: Adherence is commonly measured by intervention completion rates. Despite its importance for intervention effectiveness, less than half of studies measured exercise session adherence within interventions. Future research should address this limitation to better understand how stroke survivors engage with exercise.
