User experiences of older adults navigating an online database of community-based physical activity programs.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objectives: This study aimed to (1) explore older adult user experiences navigating an online health database of local physical activity programs; (2) compare navigational feedback with age-friendly website design guidelines; (3) assess online database completeness. Methods: Focus groups, including guided tasks and a semi-structured interview script, gathered navigational user experiences of fifteen older adults. A review of the literature sought age-friendly best practice website design guidelines and a website search for local physical activity programs was completed. Results: The design of the online database website was challenging for older adult participants to navigate and was not 'intuitive'. Based on focus group feedback, there were multiple discrepancies between the evaluated online database and the established guidelines for designing age-friendly websites. A total of 187 physical activity programs were missing from the database. Conclusions: Findings provide novel insight into user experiences of older adults navigating online health and physical activity program sites. Redesigning the following age-friendly website recommendations would empower older adults in the use of online databases and promote awareness of local physical activity programs. Health care providers need reliable and age-friendly online resources to link their patients with local physical activity programs to promote healthy aging.
