1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of the study was to determine the level of dietary self-efficacy, physical activity and obesogenic environment in several districts of Istanbul and to examine the relationship between them.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was administered to primary health care workers working in three different districts of Istanbul. Sociodemographic questions, Dieting Self-Efficiency Scale (DSES), The Assessment of the Obesogenic Environment Scale (AOES), and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were used in the survey. p < 0.05 was determined as the level of statistical significance.

resultsA total of 639 healthcare workers responded to the study. The median age of the participants was 39.0 years (min-max: 21.0-67.0). Male and single participants had significantly higher DSES scores (p = 0.014, p = 0.016, respectively). Male participants and those with lower income and education level had significantly higher scores on the AOES (p = 0.025, p = 0.024 and p = 0.024, respectively). According to the IPAQ, 56.8% (n = 283) of the participants were minimally physically active, 29.7% (n = 148) were inactive and 13.5% (n = 67) were very active. Those who were physically minimally active and very active had significantly higher DSES scores and significantly lower AOES scores than those who were inactive (p < 0.001 and p = 0.011). There was a significant negative correlation between the DSES and AOES (r=-0.263, p < 0.001).

conclusionIn this study, the evaluation of the concepts of dietary self-efficacy, physical activity level and obesogenic environment in healthcare professionals, who can be role models in the society, may contribute to the studies and intervention strategies for the whole society.
