Race Differences in Physical Activity Uptake Within a Workplace Wellness Program: A Comparison of Black and White Employees.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02850094 (The Brigham and Women's Hospital Wellness Project), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
purposeTo examine differences in physical activity (PA) uptake between black and white employees during a financial incentive-based workplace intervention.
designProspective cohort study from July 2014 to June 2015 (NCT02850094).
settingTertiary academic medical center.
participantsForty-three black and 182 white nonclinical employees.
interventionParticipants self-selected or were assigned to teams. Participants completed a 24-week intervention receiving rewards for meeting weekly PA goals (increasing moderate-to-vigorous PA [MVPA] by 10% from previous week or meeting MEASURES: Outcomes included weekly MVPA in minutes, average daily step counts, number of weeks meeting personal goals and the ANALYSIS: We performed an analysis of covariance for each outcome, with race as the primary independent variable of interest, adjusting for demographic and health-related covariates.
resultsDuring the intervention, blacks walked 9128 steps per day while whites walked 7826 steps per day, a difference of approximately 1300 steps (
conclusionsFindings suggest that workplace PA interventions using financial incentives may result in similar engagement in MVPA among white and black employees, while black employees walk more steps during the intervention. Limitations include a primarily white female sample which may not generalize.
