Level of Physical Activity Knowledge of Medical Students in a Brazilian University.
Article in Journal of lifestyle medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Physical inactivity is a major global public health problem, with a large impact on morbidity and mortality. For this reason, knowledge and advice on physical activity (PA) should be common to all health professionals. In this context, the role of physicians stands out, because they act in the first contact and have a high potential in addressing this issue and its impact on health promotion, prevention, and treatment in chronic diseases. This study aims to observe the level of physical activity knowledge of medical students in a university in the south of Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out by applying the short and validated version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to collect data on sociodemographic factors, physical activity, knowledge of physical activity, and level of physical activity. Results: A total of 294 students were assessed. The average (± SD) age was 22.0 (± 3.3) years. Most were women, and 72.8% presented body mass index within the range 18.5-25 kg/m Conclusion: It was concluded that the practice of physical activity has no association with the level of knowledge about it. However, by practicing physical activities doctors are better able to motivate and encourage their patients.
