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

Objective: This study aims to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effects of different aerobic exercise modalities on cardiopulmonary fitness and functional recovery outcomes [including VO Methods: This study employed a network meta-analysis (NMA) based on 33 RCTs involving 1,665 participants. The analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Network Meta-Analyses (PRISMA-NMA) guidelines. The primary outcomes assessed included VO Results: A total of 33 studies were included in the analysis, with 20 studies (n = 1,040) assessing VO Conclusion: HIIT and MICT may improve cardiorespiratory fitness and walking performance after chronic stroke; however, the certainty of evidence is largely low or very low, and results should be interpreted cautiously. Effects on balance and TUG remain inconclusive. Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420251171092, Identifier: CRD420251171092.
