An Outdoor Walking Program for Immigrant Muslim Older Adults: A Community-Based Participatory Intervention.
Article in Nursing open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo explore Muslim immigrant older adults' experiences of a modified community-based outdoor walking program and identify factors that facilitate or hinder program acceptance and participation.
designAn exploratory qualitative description single-group pilot study was designed and implemented in three phases: (1) pre-intervention focus group interviews; (2) intervention implementation with tracking of physical activity levels using personal activity monitors; and (3) postintervention individual interviews.
methodsParticipants were recruited using a convenience sampling strategy in a mosque in Edmonton, Canada, in June 2019. After focus group discussions with participants, walking sessions were conducted for 10 weeks in a local accessible park with required amenities such as benches and restrooms. A fitness instructor delivered the weekly program that was followed by individual semistructured interviews to explore participants' satisfaction and program acceptance. Content analysis was used for qualitative data and sociodemographic, health and physical activity level (via step counts) data was documented for all participants.
resultsThirteen participants with a mean age of 66.9 years completed the program. The majority of participants led a sedentary lifestyle. Participants identified three motivators that increased program satisfaction, which were socialising with peers, having a fitness instructor, and using Fitbit activity trackers. Difficulties with transportation and lack of appropriate educational components were areas for improvement that could enhance acceptability of the program.
conclusionsThis study suggests that early incorporation of older immigrants' preferences increases acceptance of physical activity programs. IMPLICATIONS: Nurses' engaging in healthy lifestyle support for older immigrants can identify the influences on positive uptake of physical activity programs in this population. IMPACT: Immigrant Muslim older adults lack access to evidence-based physical activity programming that meets their cultural and religious preferences. This study provides some insights into ways to engage this population in similar programs. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Community-dwelling older adults who participated in this study completed focus groups and interviews and engaged in the 10-week pilot intervention. Their input informed the modifications to the intervention.
