Factors Associated with Moderate Physical Activity Among Older Adults with Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of atrial fibrillation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveEngaging patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in moderate-intensity physical activity has been encouraged by published guidelines. We examined factors associated with engagement in moderate physical activity among older adults with AF.
methodsThis was a retrospective study involving ninety patients with episodes of Afib with RVR duData are from the SAGE (Systematic Assessment of Geriatric Elements)-AF study. Older adults (≥ 65 years) with AF and a CHA
resultsParticipants were on average 76 years old and 48% were women. Approximately one-half (52%) of study participants engaged in moderate-intensity physical activity. Morbid obesity (adjusted OR [aOR]=0.41, 90%CI=0.23-0.73), medical history of renal disease (aOR= aOR=0.68,90%CI= 0.48-0.96), slow gait speed (aOR=0.44, 90%CI=0.32-0.60), cognitive impairment (aOR=0.74, 90%CI=0.56-0.97), and social isolation (aOR=0.58, 90%CI= 0.40-0.84) were independently associated with a lower likelihood, while higher AF related quality of life score (aOR=1.64, 90%CI=1.25-2.16) a greater likelihood, of meeting recommended levels of moderate physical activity.
conclusionsNearly one-half of older adults with NVAF did not engage in moderate-intensity exercise. Clinicians should identify older patients with NVAF who are less likely to engage in physical activity and develop tailored interventions to promote regular physical activity.
