Physical rehabilitation techniques for spinal cord injury: A scoping review.
Review in African journal of disability, 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
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-changing condition resulting in disability, with motor and sensory impairments that impact multiple areas of life and reduce quality of life. Physical rehabilitation can address these limitations, but there is a need to evaluate which interventions are most effective and the outcomes they produce. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation interventions for individuals with complete and incomplete SCI at levels C5-T12, and to inform clinical practice. Method: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus and EBSCOhost identified peer-reviewed studies published between 2013 and 2024. Results: Sixteen studies ( Conclusion: Physical rehabilitation plays a key role in improving functional outcomes in individuals with SCI. However, no single intervention addresses all aspects of recovery, highlighting the need for an individualised approach. Contribution: This review demonstrates that a range of exercise-based rehabilitation strategies can enhance functional outcomes in individuals with SCI.
