A moderate-intensity exercise program during inpatient rehabilitation for middle stage Huntington's disease: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of Huntington's disease, 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 is beneficial for persons with Huntington's disease (HD). Inpatient rehabilitation settings are well-suited for implementing exercise programs. Exercise parameters, such as duration and intensity, need to be further investigated. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of an exercise program at moderate intensity performed five times a week for persons with mid-stage HD during a four-week inpatient rehabilitation program.MethodsIn a single-blind randomized monocentric controlled trial, two groups followed a four-week inpatient rehabilitation program including: occupational therapy, psychomotor therapy, psychosocial workshop, mobility sessions, dietary management, nursing, socio-educational activities, physician consultations and personalized consultations. In addition, the intervention group specifically participated in five one-hour exercise sessions per week at moderate intensity (flat ground walking, sand walking, resistance training, adaptive cycling and water activities), whereas the control group engaged in specific activities without physical activity. The primary outcome was the UHDRS-modified Motor Score (mMS). Functional, cognitive and psychological assessments were also completed.ResultsThirty-two patients were recruited. The UHDRS-mMS did not significantly differ at post-intervention. In the intervention group (n = 16), within-group improvements were observed for HAD-Anxiety, PBA-apathy, PBA-depression, PBA-psychosis; both within and between-group for 6-min walk test, Stroop Word Reading, and PBA-executive function; and between-group only for Borg. The control group (n = 16) improved within-group on PBA components: depression, apathy and irritability.ConclusionsInpatient rehabilitation program had positive effects on psychological symptoms, while exercise produced additional positive effects beyond exercise tolerance, anxiety, STROOP Word Reading and executive function. Inpatient rehabilitation programs may require longer-term post-rehabilitation support.Trial registrationNCT04917133.
