Recommendations for a Culturally Salient Web-based Physical Activity Program for African Americans.
Article in Translational journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundBarriers to physical activity (PA) among African Americans (AAs) have been extensively studied, yet there is limited research on innovative PA interventions designed to address them. In recent years, many studies have used the internet to promote PA, but very few have included AAs. In this study, we sought the input of AA focus groups to inform the development of a web-based Physical Activity for The Heart (PATH) program for inactive AAs.
methodsA qualitative design involving 4 focus groups stratified by sex and age was employed to explore AAs' needs and preferences for resources to be included in the PATH program. We employed an inductive approach to content analysis to analyze data using ATLAS.ti 7.5.
resultsSixteen women and ten men (age 30-65 years) participated in the focus groups. Participants were obese (mean BMI 32.2 ± 5.4 kg/m
conclusionThese data suggest that specific intervention components, i.e., PA models who match participants' profiles, flexibility and tailoring to age/gender groups, could improve uptake of web-based PA programs designed for inactive AAs. Therefore, a precision health approach needs to be employed when designing interventions to promote PA among inactive AAs.
