Physical activity promotion intervention improved physical activity knowledge, confidence and behaviour among diverse immigrant women: pre-post multiple methods feasibility study.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesLittle prior research investigated how to promote physical activity (PA), which can reduce cancer risk, to immigrant women. The overall aim of the current study was to pilot test education session feasibility. The objectives were to assess participation in, satisfaction with and potential impact of the education session, knowledge needed to refine the education session prior to a future trial.
designPre-post multiple-methods comparative cohort,
settingCanadian immigrant settlement agencies recruited intervention and control women.
participantsIntervention: 60 baseline, 53 education (49 virtual group, 4 video only), 1 month (43 virtual, 4 video), 6 months (38 virtual, 4 video), 37% African black; control: 41, 32% African black.
resultsAmong intervention women, PA knowledge increased significantly from baseline at 1 (p<0.001) and 6 (p=0.01) months, as did PA confidence at both time points (p<0.001). PA behaviour increased significantly from baseline at 1 and 6 months for (p<0.001), moderate (p=0.02) and mild (p=0.05) intensity PA. Total PA metabolic equivalent units (METs) also increased significantly from baseline at both time points (p=0.01). PA confidence (p=0.002) and behaviour assessed by weekly minutes of vigorous (p=0.04, n
conclusionsThe findings underscore an important health promotion role for community agencies, which may interest policy-makers, healthcare leaders and health promotion specialists.
