Peer Exercise Leaders Can Accurately and Reliably Rate Intensity of Older Adult Exercisers With the Balance Intensity Scale: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 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
Objective: To assess the accuracy and reliability of peer exercise leader ratings of balance exercise intensity using the Balance Intensity Scale Therapist version - Global Rating of Effort (BIS-T GRE). Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Two community peer-led exercise programs in Canada. Participants: Fourteen leaders (N=14) who were currently teaching or had taught a class in the past year and had completed introductory training on the BIS-T GRE. Interventions: A 90-minute online facilitated training, including practice rating videos of older adults performing balance exercise tasks and moderated discussion. Main Outcome Measures: (1) Accuracy of peer exercise leaders' BIS-T GRE ratings for 8 videos of older adults performing balance exercise tasks in 2 independent rating sessions compared with expert ratings; and (2) interrater and test-retest reliability of BIS-T GRE ratings. Results: Mean ratings were the same or lower than expert scores, with significant differences in 4 videos in session 1 and 5 videos in session 2 (all Conclusions: Peer exercise leaders in Canadian community programs can accurately and reliably rate balance exercise intensity in older adults using the BIS-T GRE.
