Can physical activity measurement alone improve objectively-measured physical activity in primary care?: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Preventive medicine reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
There is evidence that simply measuring physical activity alone can increase self-reported physical activity behaviour. The aim of this review was to describe changes in objectively-measured physical activity within control groups in primary care physical activity intervention studies. Five electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, PsychINFO and CINAHL) were searched from inception to February 2019. Physical activity controlled intervention studies objectively measuring physical activity in primary care with adults were included and
