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

designA 3-city pilot randomized controlled trial.

objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy of an Active Living Lifestyles for manual Wheelchair users (ALLWheel) program for increasing participants' leisure time physical activity, motivation, self-efficacy, and satisfaction of basic psychological needs from baseline to post-program (10 weeks) and at follow-up (3 months post-program). SETTINGS: Rehabilitation centers and community.

methodsForty adult community-dwelling manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury were allocated to an intervention (n = 20) or control group (n = 20). The intervention group received a 10-week ALLWheel program. Leisure time physical activity, motivation, self-efficacy, and satisfaction of basic psychological needs were measured at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Group differences were examined.

resultsThe intervention and the control groups had a significant difference in total leisure time physical activity post-intervention, with a small effect size (Relative Treatment Effect = 0.38, p < 0.05). This difference was not significant at follow-up. The two groups had a significant difference in moderate-heavy leisure time physical activity post-intervention, with a small effect size (Relative Treatment Effect = 0.36, p < 0.05). This difference was not significant at follow-up. No significant group differences were found for the psychological outcomes post-intervention or at follow-up.

conclusionsThe ALLWheel program had a small effect size for increasing adult wheelchair users' total leisure time physical activity levels post-intervention, particularly for moderate-to-heavy intensity. However, this increase was not maintained at the 3-month follow-up. Additional refinement and testing of the ALLWheel program is warranted before moving to a larger-scale randomized control trial with active control groups.
