Development and evaluation of the health belief model scale for exercise.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
objectivesThis study was aimed to develop a health belief model scale for exercise among Chinese residents to describe the relationships between health beliefs and exercise for promoting residents to adopt or maintain exercise programs.
methodsParticipants were from two projects, Project 1 with 3833 participants and Project 2 with 7319 participants. A pool of 21 items was developed based on a small-scale qualitative study about health beliefs of exercise and literature. Internal consistency and construct validity of the scale were evaluated with Cronbach's α coefficient, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and second-order confirmatory factor analysis.
resultsA final version of 18 items loaded on six factors which could explain 60.30-% of variance was observed after EFA. The internal consistency of the final version with 18 items performed in Project 1 was acceptable (0.609). The reliability of the six subscales was good with Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.628, 0.713, 0.628, 0.801, 0.676 and 0.838 for perceived benefits, perceived objective barriers, perceived subjective barriers, self-efficacy, perceived severity and cues to action, respectively. CFA and second-order CFA indicated a good fit to data.
conclusionsThe Health Belief Model Scale for Exercise(HBMS-E) is a valid and reliable instrument to assess health beliefs of exercise among residents in China. Understanding the health beliefs of exercise will help health professionals to develop effective interventions for health and evaluate the effectiveness.
