A cross-sectional study of physical activity participation among adults with chronic conditions participating in a digital health program.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveMany American adults are insufficiently active. Digital health programs are designed to motivate this population to engage in regular physical activity and often rely on wearable devices and apps to objectively measure physical activity for a large number of participants. The purpose of this epidemiological study was to analyze the rates of physical activity among participants in a digital health program.
methodWe conducted a cross-sectional study of participants enrolled in a digital health program between January 2014 and December 2016. All activity data were objectively collected through wearable devices.
resultsParticipants (
conclusionThe feasibility of using a large database containing data from consumer-grade activity trackers was demonstrated through this epidemiological study of physical activity rates across age and condition status of participants. The approach and findings described may inform future research as the information age brings about new opportunities to manage and study massive amounts of data generated by connected devices.
