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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: We set out to identify factors associated with recording of exercise minutes per week in electronic patient files at chiropractic teaching clinics to better understand whether this important health determinant - exercise vital sign (EVS) - is captured or not. Methods: Patient files (4018) from 23 clinicians eligible for inclusion underwent multilevel logistic regression modeling to explore the association between a recorded EVS and the following: patients' age, sex, comorbidities and interns nested within clinicians. Results: EVS discussion was documented in 81.2% of patient files, whereas 44.9% had exercise minutes recorded numerically. Clinicians and interns explained 1.7% and 25.5% of the variance in the EVS outcome. Conclusion: To enhance EVS recording, clinic directors and clinicians should better educate the interns on the importance of exercise is medicine and appropriate record keeping, as they explained the largest portion of variability in recording exercise in minutes per week.
