Physical activity enjoyment, exercise motivation, and physical activity in patients with heart failure: A mediation analysis.
Article in Clinical rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06749249 (Enjoyment Mediates Long-term Changes in Physical Activity Level in a Physical Activity on Prescription Intervention), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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
objectiveTo determine whether physical activity enjoyment mediated the association between motivation and physical activity in patients with heart failure. DESIGN AND
settingA cross-sectional study at the cardiology clinic in the university hospital in Valencia, Spain. SUBJECTS: A total of 134 patients with heart failure. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Physical activity was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, motivation was assessed with the Exercise Motivation Index and Physical Activity Enjoyment was assessed with the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale. ANALYSIS: Mediation analysis using Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4) for SPSS.
resultsThe mean age of the sample was 70 ± 14 years, 47 patients were female (35%), and 87 patients were in New York Heart Association I/II (67%). A positive relationship was found between exercise motivation and physical activity (
conclusionsPhysical activity enjoyment mediates the relationship between exercise motivation and physical activity in patients with heart failure. This means that even highly motivated heart failure patients may not be physically active if they do not enjoy the physical activity.
