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

Background: Physical behaviors (PBs), defined as physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB), are consistently less favorable in women than men. Extensive qualitative research has identified gender norms as a well-known barrier to women's PA, but they have yet to be clearly conceptualized and quantified. The purpose of this study was to (1) investigate the relationship between benevolent sexism endorsement (BSE) and PB, (2) explore women's experiences with sexism in PA settings, and (3) identify sexism constructs within focus group discussions. Methods: Participants completed the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (0-5 scale) and wore a hip-worn activity monitor for 7 days. Spearman correlations were calculated between BSE and PB. A 90-minute focus group ( Results: Participants ( Conclusion: As hypothesized, associations between BSE and PA outcomes and SB were negative and positive, respectively. Focus group themes were related to benevolent sexism constructs. Future research should be conducted in larger, more diverse samples and consider other factors that may impact one's endorsement of benevolent sexism.
