Perceived social support for diet and exercise among persons with serious mental illness enrolled in a healthy lifestyle intervention.
Article in Psychiatric rehabilitation journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
objectiveThere is a lack of research on social support for health behavior change among persons with serious mental illness who face disproportionate morbidity and premature death due to cardiovascular disease. This study examined social contact and the demographic, health and clinical characteristics associated with perceived social support for diet and exercise among persons living with serious mental illness enrolled in a healthy lifestyle intervention.
methodBaseline data from two ongoing studies of the In SHAPE healthy lifestyle intervention for persons with serious mental illness were included in this analysis (N = 158). Cross-sectional analyses examined social contact and correlates of both negative and positive experiences of social support for diet and exercise. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the relationship between demographic characteristics, symptoms, health, and social support.
resultsThe majority (80.3%) of participants reported face-to-face contact at least twice monthly with a family member or friend. Readiness to change physical activity was associated with greater criticism from family for exercise behaviors, r(64) = .29, p < .05. Depressive symptoms (β = .30, p < .01) were significantly associated with more unhealthy family eating environments while controlling for the amount of family contact (β = .27, p < .01), while readiness to change dietary portion size (β = .34, p < .01) was associated with encouragement for healthy eating from friends. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Participants had regular contact with significant others who were a source of both positive and negative support for healthy eating and exercise. Engaging natural supports in supporting healthy behaviors may help persons with serious mental illness initiate and maintain lifestyle change.
