Brief Report: State-Level Number of Physically Inactive US Adults With Arthritis Who can Improve Their Anxiety and Depression by Exercising.
Article in ACR open rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveProvide state-level estimates of the number of physically inactive adults in the United States with arthritis and other rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) who could improve their anxiety and depression by exercising.
methodsUtilizing 1) number-needed-to treat (NNT) data from two prior meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials addressing the effects of exercise on anxiety and depression in adults with arthritis and other RMDs, 2) recent state-level prevalence estimates on arthritis and physical inactivity in adults with arthritis and other RMDs, and 3) state-level 2010 US Census population data, the number of physically inactive adults with arthritis and other RMDs who could improve their anxiety and depression by exercising was estimated.
resultsAcross all states and the District of Columbia, the number of adults with arthritis and other RMDs who could improve their anxiety and depression by starting an exercise program was estimated at 3 433 167 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3 171 000-3 703 522) for anxiety and 2 942 706 (95% CI = 2 718 000-3 174 438) for depression. For anxiety, numbers ranged from 3677 (95% CI = 3235-4154) in the District of Columbia to 271 253 (95% CI = 243 998-298 508) in Texas. For depression, numbers ranged from 3151 (95% CI = 2773-3561) in the District of Columbia to 232 502 (95% CI = 209 140-255 863) in Texas.
conclusionThese state-specific data suggest that a large number of physically inactive US adults with arthritis and other RMDs could improve their anxiety and depression by starting and maintaining a regular exercise program.
