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

Black older adults face unique barriers to engaging in physical activity (PA) and are less likely to exercise. Black churches have been regarded as crucial resources and supports for parishioners' mental and physical health. We sought to explore barriers and facilitators to PA among Black older adult parishioners as a first step to developing a web-platform companion to an evidence-based intervention for PA. We conducted two virtual focus group interviews (N = 19) with Black older adult parishioners in two Boston-area Black Churches. Barriers and facilitators to PA were assessed via rapid data analyses using mind mapping techniques. We identified four distinct barriers and three facilitators to PA among Black older adult parishioners. Findings underscore the importance of considering environmental and social factors to effectively improve PA among Black older adults.
