Perceptions of Physical Activity in African American Older Adults on Hemodialysis: Themes From Key Informant Interviews.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 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
objectiveTo determine key themes underlying the perceptions of older (≥65y) adults on hemodialysis regarding physical activity using qualitative methodology.

interventionsNone.
main outcome measuresInterview transcripts were coded and analyzed using the framework method to extract themes and subthemes. Participants also answered Likert statements regarding their perceptions of physical activity, and the responses were tallied.
resultsTen older adults on hemodialysis participated (mean age 73±5y; 60% women); all were African American. All participants stated physical activity would make them feel better. The major themes that emerged were barriers and facilitators. Facilitators included internal motivators, family and friend support, and feasibility of incorporating physical activity into routine activities. Barriers were lack of motivation, health issues, and environmental restrictions.
conclusionsPhysical activity potentially could prevent the physical decline commonly seen in older adults on hemodialysis. Yet information regarding the perceptions of this population toward physical activity is sparse. Although the study is limited by selection bias, our study presents qualitative evidence that black older adults on hemodialysis desire physical activity for their health. Future interventions to increase physical activity in this population should consider leveraging existing facilitators, such as the support of family and friends, and use strategies to address barriers like minimal motivation.
