Adherence to Exercise Interventions in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundExercise intervention is an effective non-pharmacological treatment for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, reports of adherence to exercise vary widely, and few studies have focused specifically on the topic of exercise adherence among patients with MCI. The aim of the systematic review was to identify patients with MCI in the context of exercise intervention studies: (1) definition, monitoring, and recording of adherence; (2) adherence rates; and (3) adherence-related intervention characteristics.
methodPubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), Weipu Database (VIP), China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), and Wanfang Database were searched from their inception to October 2024.
resultsA total of 28 studies were included, of which 26 studies reported adherence rates. Four studies defined exercise adherence as the percentage of attended sessions. The mean adherence rate was 77% [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.72-0.83]. Thirteen studies reported supervision during exercise the average adherence was 83.3%. Eight studies reported incentive during exercise the average adherence was 79.3%. Five studies reported with the duration of exercise for 12 months the average adherence was 63%; five studies reported for 6 months the average adherence was 75.1%; and three studies reported for 3 months the average adherence was 85.3%.
conclusionThe results showed a lack of consistency in adherence. This meta-analysis provides insights into exercise adherence status and related variables in patients with MCI, which will help future studies target adherence enhancement strategies and provide more effective exercise interventions for patients with MCI.
