Disease-related factors associated with exercise adherence in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

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
objectivesExercise is the most widely-used intervention for reducing bone loss and the incidence of falls and fractures in osteoporosis patients. However, disease-related changes can alter these patients' adherence to exercise programs. This study attempted to describe the factors influencing exercise adherence in a group of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. We collected data from each patient's last clinical evaluation, as well as from their clinical file of the previous year.
resultsA total of 288 women were included in the study, with an average age of 69.45 (Standard deviation ± 9.2 years). Around a quarter, 76 (26.3%), of the patients did not adhere to exercise, 91 (31.5%) did partially, and 121 (41.9%) did completely. In univariate analysis, the variables significantly associated with exercise adherence were age, height, spine pain intensity, joint pain, and prevalent fracture. In a logistic regression model, pharmacological treatment for osteoporosis and polypharmacy were associated with exercise adherence, while poor balance and hyperkyphosis were associated with non-adherence.
conclusionPharmacological treatment, polypharmacy, poor balance, and hyperkyphosis all appear to be associated with exercise adherence. As these findings are the significant predictors of exercise engagement, it is necessary to explore balance and postural changes and emphasize the importance of postural and balance training prescription in this group of patients.
