Predicting Physical Activity Behavior in African American Females: Using Multi Theory Model.
Article in Journal of research in health sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundDespite physical activity having several benefits, a considerable number of Americans do not engage in sufficient exercise. Among the high-risk groups are African American women. A recent theory, multi theory model (MTM) for health behavior change can be used to develop effective interventions. The objective of this research was to test MTM in its ability to predict physical activity behavior in African American women. STUDY
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsAfrican American women aged 18 yr and older were recruited at various locations (primarily churches) of Jackson, a large city in southern Mississippi to participate in this cross-sectional study in 2016. The valid and reliable survey was administered to a G*Power calculated quota sample of 156 women either in person or via a Qualtrics link sent through an e-mail.
resultsThe regression analysis revealed that 32.7% of the variance in initiating physical activity behavior was predicted by participatory dialogue, behavioral confidence, and changes in physical environment. Sustenance of physical activity behavior was predicted up to 38.8% by emotional transformation and changes in social environment.
conclusionsMTM appears to be a robust theory in its application for changing physical activity behavior in African American women. This theory must be reified and empirically tested with this population.
