  1. Summary of reporting scores by (i) study reporting by reporting guideline and intervention categories, (ii) intervention reporting by reporting guideline and intervention categories, (iii) intervention and control group reporting by intervention categories. *One cohort study could not be classified into an intervention category; its reporting data is included in the overall STROBE reporting and overall study reporting scores, respectively
  2. aStudies assessed with STROBE had significantly better CERT reporting compared to those assessed with CONSORT, p = 0.014
  3. bSitting/passive/active interventions reported significantly better than multicomponent interventions, p = 0.009
  4. c, d, eCycling interventions reported significantly better than NMES interventions, progressive mobility interventions, and multicomponent interventions, p = 0.012, p = 0.010, p = 0.002, respectively
  5. fNMES intervention groups reported significantly better than control groups, p < 0.001
  6. gProgressive mobility intervention groups reported significantly better than control groups, p < 0.001
  7. hMulticomponent intervention groups reported significantly better than control groups, p < 0.001
  8. iAcross all intervention categories, intervention groups reported significantly better than control groups (p < 0.001)
