EFFECTS OF HIGHER- AND LOWER-INTENSITY EXERCISE ON FITNESS, COGNITION, MOTOR FUNCTION, AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN ADULTS WITH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine. Clinical communications, 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
Objective: To assess the effects of higher-intensity aerobic training (AET) and lower-intensity rapid-resisted exercise training (RET) on fitness, cognition, balance, mobility, and quality of life in sedentary adults with chronic traumatic brain injury. Design: Participants were randomized to AET, RET, or waitlist control later randomized to AET or RET. Participants: Nine adults, 25 to 65 years, completed elliptical training (AET = 4; RET = 5). Follow-up data were available for 4 AET and 2 RET. Methods: Exercise groups trained for 12 weeks. Outcomes were assessed at 0, 12, and 24 weeks. Results: Main effects from exercise included improvements in the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test, Limits of Stability excursion, fast elliptical cadence, and self-reported cognitive abilities. Improved fitness was related strongly to improved memory, balance, and quality of life. Similar fitness gains across groups indicate high individual variability in response to exercise intensity. Continuing to exercise during follow-up was associated with more cognitive benefits. Conclusion: Exercise had positive effects on multiple aspects of functioning well after traumatic brain injury and should be advocated. Differences based on exercise intensity were not identified in this small sample. Inconsistent recommendations across studies on optimal exercise parameters are likely obscured by individual differences, suggesting a personalized approach is warranted.
