Associations between physical exercise patterns and pain symptoms in individuals with endometriosis: a cross-sectional mHealth-based investigation.
Observational study in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study investigates the association of daily physical exercise with pain symptoms in endometriosis. We also examined whether an individual's typical weekly (ie, habitual) exercise frequency influences (ie, moderates) the relationship between their pain symptoms on a given day (day
participantsThe sample included 90 382 days of data from 1009 participants (~85% non-Hispanic white) living with endometriosis across 38 countries. STUDY
designThis was an observational, retrospective study conducted using data from a research mobile app (Phendo) designed for collecting self-reported data on symptoms and self-management of endometriosis. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The two primary outcomes were the composite day-level pain score that includes pain intensity and location, and the change in this score from previous day (Δ-score). We applied generalised linear mixed-level models to examine the effect of previous-day exercise and habitual exercise frequency on these outcomes. We included an interaction term between the two predictors to assess the moderation effect, and adjusted for previous-day pain, menstrual status, education level and body mass index.
resultsThe association of previous-day (day
conclusionsRegular exercise might influence the day-level (ie, short-term) association of pain symptoms with exercise. These findings can inform exercise recommendations for endometriosis pain management, especially for those who are at greater risk of lack of regular exercise due to acute exacerbation in their pain after exercise.
