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

backgroundPhysical activity is a cornerstone of lifestyle-oriented rehabilitation for community-dwelling stroke survivors. Effective physical activity is of great significance for restoring physical functions and enhancing self-care ability in stroke survivors. Although qualitative research on PA in this population is expanding, a systematic synthesis is lacking. This qualitative systematic review aims to integrate stroke survivors' experiences of PA after return to home and community settings.

methodsThis review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for qualitative systematic reviews. Ten electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, WanFang Data, CNKI, Chongqing VIP, and CBM) will be searched; hand-searching and gray-literature retrieval will supplement database results. Two independent reviewers will perform study selection, methodological quality appraisal (JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist), data extraction, and meta-aggregation. The ConQual approach will establish confidence in the synthesized findings. DISCUSSION: A rigorously conducted qualitative systematic review will provide a transparent, comprehensive account of stroke survivors' PA experiences. The findings will generate robust evidence to inform the development and implementation of effective community- and home-based PA interventions. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42024561586.
