Motivation and planning as mediators of the relation between social support and physical activity among U.S. adolescents: a nationally representative study.
Article in The international journal of behavioral nutrition and physical activity, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
backgroundMore than half of U.S. high-school students do not meet the moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) 5 hours per week recommendation. The purpose of this study was to determine how individual dimensions (motivation and planning) mediate the relationship of social context with physical activity by integrating available measures of personal characteristic including internal/external motivations (derived from Self-Determination Theory -SDT]) for MVPA, MVPA planning, peer MVPA, and parental support to better understand adolescent MVPA.
methodsSurvey responses of a nationally representative cohort of 11th graders (N=2439) in the NEXT Generation Health Study were analyzed with structural equation modeling.
resultsAdolescent MVPA was directly, significantly associated with MVPA planning (β=0.17), peer MVPA (β=0.21), and internal motivation (β=0.50). Internal motivation was associated with peer MVPA (β=0.31), parental support for MVPA (β=0.16), and external motivation (β=0.40). A significant relation between parental support and external motivation (β=0.31) was also found.
conclusionsAdolescents with higher internal motivation and more active friends were more likely to engage in MVPA. The results are consistent with SDT and suggest that planning is an important construct for adolescent MVPA.
