Real-Time Fatigue and Physical Activity of Older Adults in Assisted Living: Feasibility of Ecological Momentary Assessment.
Article in Western journal of nursing research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFatigue is associated with decreased physical activity (PA) among older adults in assisted living (AL), but the direction of the relationship is unclear and may differ with mobility status.
objectiveThis study (1) assessed the feasibility and acceptability of measuring real-time fatigue and PA using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and (2) described the temporal relationship between real-time fatigue and PA in AL residents with differing mobility levels.
methodsOlder adults in AL (
resultsEighty percent of those screened were eligible and enrolled. Participants wore the PA monitor for a mean of 7.5 (SD: 1.7) days and completed 76% of fatigue ratings. Most participants said the monitor was comfortable and had no difficulty entering fatigue scores. In the non-ambulatory subgroup, there were significant positive associations between PA (all time intervals) and subsequent fatigue (
conclusionsThis study supports the feasibility and acceptability of using EMA methods with older adults in AL and provides preliminary evidence regarding the temporal relationship between PA and fatigue in this population.
