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

The objective of this review was to identify evidence-based, community-based physical activity (PA) and nutrition-based programs aimed at facilitating health behaviour change among low-income older adults and/or those living in rural/remote areas. This review followed the scoping review methodology proposed by Arksey & O'Malley. The Michie behaviour change wheel was used to categorize intervention types. Of the 2954 retrieved citations, 25 articles met the inclusion criteria. All study interventions demonstrated positive outcomes, including improvements in fruit and vegetable consumption, PA levels, physical function and nutrition knowledge. Study findings highlight that PA and nutrition-based interventions can be effective to facilitate behavior change in low-income and/or rural older adults. Limited research exists looking specifically at older adults living in rural communities, with only two of the 25 included articles including rural study populations.
