Article in Innovation in aging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07554677 (Feasibility of a Co-designed PRe-radiotherapy Exercise Programme for People With Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung cAnCEr), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesEnjoyment of and satisfaction with physical activity have been proposed as two actionable mechanisms to promote sustained engagement in physical activity. An accurate understanding of how, why, and for whom these two mechanisms work (or not) in response to a particular intervention strategy is contingent on having suitable measures for the population of interest. This study aims to determine whether the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale-8 and a novel approach to the measurement of satisfaction with physical activity are suitable for use among older adults ( RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsParticipants answered an online questionnaire twice across 4 weeks. Measurement invariance was assessed within a structural equation modeling framework; convergent validity was assessed by correlating the latent variables enjoyment and satisfaction with each other and with physical activity behavior.

resultsBoth measures were invariant between gender and across time. Enjoyment and satisfaction were related to each other ( DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Results support the suitability of these measures as tools to assess enjoyment of and satisfaction with physical activity among older adults.
