Update and Novel Validation of a Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
The aim of this study was to update and validate the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ), using novel and innovative accelerometer and wearable camera measures in a free-living setting, to improve the measurement performance of this method for self-reporting physical activity. A prospective cohort of 50 eligible pregnant women were enrolled in early pregnancy (mean = 14.9 weeks' gestation). In early, middle, and late pregnancy, participants completed the updated PPAQ and, for 7 days, wore an accelerometer (GT3X-BT; ActiGraph, Pensacola, Florida) on the nondominant wrist and a wearable camera (Autographer; OMG Life (defunct)). At the end of the 7-day period, participants repeated the PPAQ. Spearman correlations between the PPAQ and accelerometer data ranged from 0.37 to 0.44 for total activity, 0.17 to 0.53 for moderate- to vigorous-intensity activity, 0.19 to 0.42 for light-intensity activity, and 0.23 to 0.45 for sedentary behavior. Spearman correlations between the PPAQ and wearable camera data ranged from 0.52 to 0.70 for sports/exercise and from 0.26 to 0.30 for transportation activity. Reproducibility scores ranged from 0.70 to 0.92 for moderate- to vigorous-intensity activity and from 0.79 to 0.91 for sports/exercise, and were comparable across other domains of physical activity. The PPAQ is a reliable instrument and a valid measure of a broad range of physical activities during pregnancy.
