Steps to Health: Backward Walking Predicts Physical Activity Levels in Multiple Sclerosis.
Article in Neurorehabilitation and neural repair, 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
BackgroundPhysical activity (PA) supports physical, cognitive, and mental health, yet is often limited in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) due to mobility, cognitive, and psychological factors. Practical methods to identify those meeting PA recommendations are needed. This study aimed to develop a clinically useful approach combining patient-reported outcomes and objective measures to determine whether PwMS meet step count goals.MethodsParticipants completed mobility assessments (static balance, reactive balance, forward walking [FW], and backward walking [BW]), cognitive testing, and self-report measures. Fitbit tracked PA for 3 months, categorizing participants based on whether they met the MS daily step goal (7500 steps).ResultsForty-five PwMS (age: 51.16 ± 11.12 years; median Patient Determined Disease Steps: 1; 84% female) participated, with 15 meeting the daily step goal. Participants who met the step count goal reported significantly lower mobility limitations (MS Walking Scale-12,
