1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesIdentification as an exerciser may promote physical activity. This study examined exercise identity (EI) and its relationship with demographic characteristics and exercise among adults participating in behavioral weight loss treatment, which is a key target population for increasing exercise.

designLongitudinal.

methodParticipants (

resultsBaseline EI and exercise were positively related and EI and exercise increased over time. However, change in EI was not meaningfully related to change in exercise, baseline EI did not predict change in exercise, and 6-month EI was not related to 6-month exercise. Participants identifying as non-White reported greater EI but lower exercise.

conclusionsAlthough EI and exercise may increase among weight loss participants, the two may not be meaningfully related during active weight loss treatment. The relationship between EI and exercise may also differ based on race.
