Scaling up an Evidence-Based Exercise Intervention for Wide-Scale Implementation: A Conceptual Roadmap Using the PRACTIS Framework.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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 safe and beneficial for managing symptoms, preventing progression, and enhancing the physical and mental well-being of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Such evidence has supported prescriptive guidelines delivered alongside behavioral interventions to promote and sustain exercise behavior. Evidence-based exercise training interventions now exist for people with MS, such as Project GEMS, a home-based program grounded in MS-specific exercise training guidelines and supported by principles of behavior change based on social-cognitive theory. The field is now ready for the process of translating evidence-based programs from research settings into clinical or community contexts for greater reach and accessibility, but dissemination and implementation remain significant challenges.
objectivesThe current paper presents a conceptual roadmap for implementing a validated home-based exercise training intervention for people with MS, originally tested in controlled research environments, within the broader community context. This is guided by the PRACTIS framework for scaling up physical activity/exercise interventions. Roadmap: Our paper presents a conceptual example along with details regarding strategic adaptations for tailoring the remote GEMS program for a diverse and wide MS population, integrating input from community stakeholders and ensuring long-term sustainability through collaborative researcher-stakeholder partnerships. Such an initiative may bridge the gap between research and practice in the domains of exercise training and behavioral interventions for people with MS and further serve as a scalable model for promoting exercise behavior in other neurological conditions by expanding accessibility for effective digital resources.
conclusionThe design of the exercise intervention discussed in this paper offers one example and conceptual pathway for expanding access for evidence-based exercise programs at the wider level.
