Exercise as medicine: Providing practitioner guidance on exercise prescription.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a practitioner education program (consisting of education on exercise guidelines and exercise prescription) on practitioner (i) confidence in prescribing exercise and (ii) rate of prescribing exercise. A pre-post study design was utilized. A two-session practitioner education and a toolbox of resources was developed and implemented in January 2020, targeting 12 eligible practitioners at a large primary care and functional medicine office in New York City. A three-question confidence survey was given pre and post. Fifty randomly selected charts were reviewed at baseline (pre), and 25 charts were reviewed monthly for 3 months (February - April 2020) post. There were significant increases and a large effect size in both confidence in prescribing exercise (30% to 89% [
