A survey questionnaire evaluating physical activity patterns and determinants in patients with chronic liver disease.
Article in Journal of gastroenterology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPhysical activity can reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD), whereas physical inactivity adversely affects clinical outcomes. Since data on physical activity in CLD are scarce, we conducted a questionnaire survey to assess the physical activity patterns and determinants in patients with CLD.
methodsWe surveyed 437 patients from outpatient clinics at Gifu University Hospital about their physical activity patterns and determinants in 2022 using a validated questionnaire. The primary objective was to examine the proportion of patients who exercised and the clinical characteristics of patients who achieved high levels of physical activity. The secondary objectives were to explore the types, motivations, barriers, and preferences for physical activity.
resultsAmong the 397 eligible patients (median age 68 years; 51% men; and median Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score 6), 55.4% reported performing physical activity less than once a week. Physical activity frequency was not associated with sex, body mass index, comorbidities, or hepatic reserve. Among the respondents, 60.4% expressed concern regarding physical strength, and 80.6% expressed concern regarding physical inactivity. The main barriers to physical activity were work, household chores, and health problems. However, many respondents expressed their willingness to increase their physical activity frequency with some promotional policies. Walking was the most common physical activity practiced in the past year and the activity most respondents wanted to try in the future.
conclusionsPatients with CLD are insufficiently active and need physical activity interventions, especially regarding walking.
