Implementation and Maintenance of a Community-Based Older Adult Physical Activity Program.
Article in The Gerontologist, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purpose of the studyWe examine facilitators and barriers to the implementation and maintenance of Enhance®Fitness (EF), a group exercise program for older adults, at early-adopter YMCA-affiliated sites, and summarize strategies employed by EF instructors and staff to overcome challenges. DESIGN AND
methodsThis qualitative study used semi-structured phone interviews with 32 instructors, staff members, and master trainers from 24 different YMCA-affiliated sites. Interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, and analyzed with a focus on the implementation and maintenance components of the RE-AIM framework.
resultsWe identified a series of factors affecting the implementation and maintenance of EF at YMCA-affiliated sites, which can be categorized into program-specific (such as instructor training, the structure of the program, reporting requirements, and insurance coverage), and organizational (such as organizational support and infrastructure for program delivery, champions, and funding to cover the costs of program delivery). Strategies used to overcome challenges associated with these factors include identifying parts of the program that can be adapted, hiring staff and instructors that understand and support the program, and educating staff and instructors about the importance of evidence-based programs and of data collection for program evaluation. IMPLICATIONS: Assessing the readiness of organizations for program delivery and the match between program goals and the needs of organizations and participants would help facilitate the successful implementation and maintenance of physical activity programs in community settings.
