Promoting physical activity: the contribution of regulatory fit.

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
Background: Existing research primarily focuses on external strategies for promoting physical activity, while the influence of individual characteristics on engagement in physical activities has been largely overlooked. This study aims to explore the impact of combining individual regulatory focus and exercise information frame on cognition, emotion, intention, and behavior based on the regulatory fit theory. Methods: In Study 1, participants were randomly assigned to read one of two types of exercise information with different frames but the same content after measuring their chronic regulatory focus. Subsequently, they completed a measure of exercise-related cognition, emotion, and intention. Study 2 replicated this by manipulating situational regulatory focus and extended this by tracking participants' actual engagement in physical activity for one week. Results: Both studies revealed significant interactions between regulatory focus and the information frame on information value, emotional intensity, and behavioral intention, indicating the regulatory fit effect. More importantly, Study 2 found a significant interaction on vigorous physical activity during one week after the manipulation of situational focus. Conclusion: When chronic/situational regulatory focus fit with the exercise information frame, individuals evaluated the exercise information more positively, showed more positive emotions, were more willing to take part in exercise, and engaged in more actual physical activity.
