Physical Activity Interventions for Patients With Poststroke Fatigue: Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 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
backgroundPoststroke fatigue (PSF) affects nearly 50% of stroke survivors, severely impacting functional recovery and quality of life. Physical activity (PA) interventions show promise in mitigating fatigue, yet evidence remains fragmented across study designs and intervention types.
objectiveThis scoping review aims to systematically map the literature on PA interventions for PSF, identifying key concepts, evidence gaps, and implementation characteristics to guide future research.
methodsUsing a 5-step framework, we will search PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library from the inception of the databases to 2025. Gray literature and trial registries will be included. Two reviewers will independently screen titles, abstracts, and full texts using predefined criteria. Data extraction will focus on intervention components, fatigue assessment tools, and implementation outcomes.
resultsInitial searches identified 8268 articles. The study selection process is expected to finish in February 2026, and the manuscript will be submitted in June 2026.
conclusionsThe conduct of this scoping review is expected to synthesize a fragmented evidence base, providing a clear evidence map of PA interventions for PSF. The findings will identify key gaps and inform the design of future definitive studies and evidence-based clinical guidelines, ultimately contributing to improved care for stroke survivors experiencing fatigue.
