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

objectiveTo explore perceived barriers to and facilitators of behaviour change towards a more active lifestyle in people with neuromuscular diseases.

designA qualitative study. SUBJECTS: Nineteen subjects (63% females, age range 28-73 years), representing 4 different neuromuscular diseases.

methodsData from a randomized controlled trial were used. Subjects followed a physical activity programme including coaching sessions using motivational interviewing techniques. All sessions were audio-recorded, and thematic analyses were conducted on a random selection of 29 audio recordings, using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as a framework.

resultsBarriers and facilitators were identified in the following domains: body functions and structures (i.e., neuromusculoskeletal, sensory and mental functions), activities and participation (i.e., undertaking multiple tasks and complex interpersonal interactions), environmental factors (i.e., products and technology for personal use in daily living, design/construction of buildings for public and private use, financial assets, climate, natural events, support and relationships) and personal factors (i.e., satisfaction with life, attitude toward health and disease, attitude toward intervention, exercise habits and methodical skills).

conclusionIdentified barriers and facilitators could guide healthcare professionals to facilitate the discussion of physical activity behaviour and to address them in a personalized way during neuromuscular rehabilitation treatment.
