A comparison of objective and subjective measures of physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviors between persons with and without depressive symptoms.

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
backgroundMajor Depressive Disorder (MDD) is characterized by negative recall biases, which may impact how individuals with depressive symptoms report physical activity (PA), sedentary, and sleep behaviors. Additionally, there are discrepancies between subjective and objective behaviors in MDD. Thus, the current study investigated whether individuals with depressive symptoms differ in their subjective and objective PA, sedentary, and sleep behaviors, and whether the magnitude of these discrepancies differ from those in individuals without depressive symptoms.
methodsParticipants from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (N = 8367; N
resultsThree negative binomial models investigated the effects of group, measurement type, and their interaction on PA, sedentary, and sleep behaviors. Individuals with depressive symptoms exhibited lower PA and sleep than individuals without depressive symptoms but did not differ in sedentary behaviors. Measurement type differed across all models: self-reported PA and sleep were lower, and self-reported sedentary behaviors were greater, than objective measurements. The interaction was significant only for PA; whereas objective PA was greater than subjective measurements for all individuals, the difference was far greater for individuals with depressive symptoms. LIMITATIONS: The absence of a clinically depressed sample and current manner of assessing subjective and objective measures may limit our generalizability and conclusions.
conclusionOur study highlights discrepancies in objective and subjective reports across domains and emphasizes the importance of incorporating objective measurements to improve psychopathology assessment.
