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

purposeMore than 75% of youth in grades 4 through 12 in the United States do not engage in vigorous physical activity daily. Clinicians and researchers need valid and reliable measures of physical activity to address this public health concern. The purpose of this paper is to review the history of activity monitoring in pediatrics and synthesize the current literature on ambulatory physical activity monitoring in youth. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS: For this review, ambulatory physical activity monitoring is defined as direct measurement of the amount of walking and/or steps taken over time. An overview of commercially available pedometers and accelerometers is presented with implications and recommendations for practice and research. RECOMMENDATIONS: Ambulatory activity monitoring has the potential to affect current pediatric health concerns related to inactivity and clear indications for a broad spectrum of research methodology.
