Individual characteristics associated with physical activity intervention delivery mode preferences among adults.

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
backgroundPeople have different preferences on how health behaviour change interventions are delivered to them; intervention implementation, retention and effectiveness may be improved if preferences can be matched. PURPOSE: This study aims to explore factors related to preference of face-to-face, and group-, print- or web-based physical activity intervention delivery modes among adults recruited from the general population.
methodsA question relating to physical activity intervention preference was included in the telephone administered 2010 Queensland Social Survey. Multinomial regression models were used to explore socio-demographic (e.g., age, marital status, location), health (e.g., BMI, chronic disease status) and behavioral factors (e.g., internet use, physical activity, diet, social networking) related to intervention preferences, using 'a face-to-face intervention' as the reference category.
results35.2% of those approached took part in the telephone interviews (n=1,261). Preference for a web-based intervention was positively associated with being in the 35-44 age group (compared to the 18-34 age group; RR=2.71), living in a rural area (RR=2.01), and high internet use (RR=1.03); and negatively associated with female gender (RR=0.52), obesity (RR=0.42), and higher physical activity participation (RR=0.99). Preference for a print-based intervention was positively associated with older age (RR=5.50); and negatively associated with female gender (RR=0.48) and obesity (RR=0.47). Preference for a group-based program was positively associated with living in a regional town (RR=1.48) and negatively associated with being separated (RR=0.45) and obesity (RR =0.56).
conclusionFindings from this study help to delineate what physical activity intervention delivery modes are likely to be appealing for specific target groups, especially in relation to people of different weight status, age, gender and living environment. As such, this information will be useful in the development of interventions targeted at these groups.
