A Longitudinal Observational Study of Multimorbidity and Partner Support for Physical Activity Among People with Osteoarthritis.
Observational study in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05811858 (Analyzing Factors Impacting Patient Involvement in Osteoarthritis Clinical Research), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundPhysical activity can improve osteoarthritis-related symptoms; however, many people with osteoarthritis (PWOA) are insufficiently active. Social support for physical activity from an intimate partner can help PWOA increase activity, but managing multiple, chronic physical or mental health conditions (i.e., multimorbidity) may influence provision and receipt of that support.
methodData from a 1-year longitudinal observational study was used to examine associations between multimorbidity and three dimensions of partner support for physical activity-companionship partner support (doing activity together), enacted partner support, and social support effectiveness-in 169 insufficiently active PWOA and their partners.
resultsMultivariable-adjusted multi-level models indicated baseline differences in support by multimorbidity status: when partners had multimorbidity, PWOA reported receiving less companionship support and less effective support from partners; when PWOA had multimorbidity, partners reported providing less enacted support and both partners and PWOA reported less effective partner support. Broad trends (p < .05) indicate initial increases and subsequent decreases in companionship and enacted partner support when PWOA had multimorbidity, and among partners with and without multimorbidity. When PWOA had multimorbidity, an initial increase in support effectiveness was followed by no significant change; a similar trend was seen among partners with and without multimorbidity.
conclusionMultimorbidity may generally contribute to less partner support for physical activity or less effective support, although influences on support over time are less clear. Physical activity interventions for couples experiencing multimorbidity would likely benefit from attention to the impact of multiple chronic health conditions on physical activity and physical activity-related partner support.
