Harmonizing measurement tools: examining the concurrent validity of the Daily Activity Behaviors Questionnaire compared to the ActiGraph to assess 24-hour movement behaviors among adults.
Observational study in BMC public health, 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
purposeAn accurate assessment of time spent in 24-hour movement behaviors (24 h-MBs) is crucial in exploring health related associations. This study aims to evaluate the concurrent validity of the Daily Activity Behavior Questionnaire (DABQ) compared to the ActiGraph using absolute and relative indicators of validity.
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study included 105 adults (45 ± 13 y/o, 54% female). Participants wore an ActiGraph during seven consecutive days followed by filling in the DABQ recalling the past seven days. Intraclass correlations (95% confidence intervals), Bland-Altman plots, Spearman's correlations and the magnitude of error were calculated to estimate the absolute agreement and validity. Interaction effects between sociodemographic variables and the measurement methods were explored in mixed models. All analyses were compared by four commonly used data processing methods for ActiGraph data (cut-points and data reduction method-specific).
resultsModerate absolute agreement (ICC = 0.56) and validity (rho
conclusionCompared to the ActiGraph, the DABQ showed accurate time-use estimates for sleep but presented poor to moderate evidence of validity regarding SB, LPA and MVPA. This was shown in underestimations regarding SB and MVPA, and overestimations regarding LPA. However, educational level and data processing methods contributed to these variations.
