Gender Differences in Physical Activity Engagement Among Adolescents With Congenital Heart Disease.
Article in Journal of pediatric psychology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveThe current study aimed to (a) describe moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior (SB), and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2Peak) via objective assessment among adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD), (b) examine gender differences on MVPA, SB, VO2Peak, and the Theory of Planned Behavior elements, and (c) identify whether gender moderates the relationships between the Theory of Planned Behavior elements and MVPA, SB, and VO2Peak.
methodsAdolescent CHD survivors (N = 86; ages 15-18 years) wore an accelerometer to assess MVPA and SB, underwent an exercise stress test to assess VO2Peak, and completed a survey of the Theory of Planned Behavior elements as measured by perceived benefits (attitudes), family/friend support and perceived norms (social norms), and self-efficacy and barriers (perceived behavioral control) to engaging in physical activity.
resultsOn average, CHD survivors engaged in 22.3 min (SD = 15.3) of MVPA/day and 9 hr of SB/day (M = 565.8, SD = 102.5 min). Females engaged in less MVPA but not more SB had a lower mean VO2Peak, reported lower self-efficacy, and perceived greater barriers than males. In a regression model, barriers explained unique variance in MVPA and VO2Peak, but the relationship between barriers and MVPA/VO2Peak did not vary by gender. Self-efficacy did not explain unique variance in MVPA and VO2Peak when included in a model with gender and barriers.
conclusionsFamily/friend support for physical activity engagement may be an important consideration when developing physical activity interventions for adolescent CHD survivors. The role of gender differences in self-efficacy and perceived barriers on physical activity engagement warrants further investigation.
