A longitudinal study of the effects of instrumental and emotional social support on physical activity in underserved adolescents in the ACT trial.
Trial report in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFew previous studies have examined the influence of instrumental and emotional social support on physical activity (PA) longitudinally in underserved adolescents. PURPOSE: This longitudinal study was a secondary analysis of the Active by Choice Today (ACT) trial examining whether instrumental social support predicts increases in PA in underserved adolescents, above and beyond emotional social support provided by family or peers.
methodsStudents in the sixth grade (N = 1,422, 73 % African American, 54 % female, M age = 11 years) in the ACT trial participated. At baseline and 19 weeks, previously validated measures of social support (family instrumental, family emotional, and peer emotional) were completed and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) was assessed using 7-day accelerometry estimates.
resultsA mixed ANCOVA demonstrated that baseline (p = 0.02) and change in family instrumental support (p = 0.01), but not emotional support from family or peers, predicted increases in MVPA across a 19-week period.
conclusionsFuture interventions in underserved adolescents should enhance opportunities for instrumental support for PA.
