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 health of older adults is related to physical activity, and physical activity level (PAL) is associated with various factors such as community environment and psychological factors. Based on the above assumptions, this study constructs Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) to examined the relationship of psychological variables with older adults' PAL. The study further combines observable variables such as socioeconomic attributes, travel characteristics, and objective community environment elements with latent variables to construct SEM-Logit model to examined the relationship between these factors and PAL. Our results showed that: (1) PAL was related to gender, age, living conditions, self-rated health, PA scope; (2) PAL was positively related to physical activity intention (PAI), and other perceived psychological variables had an indirect effect on PAL through PAI; (3) Older adults living in a walkable community are more likely to improve their PAL. Corresponding strategies were proposed from improving the community environment and guiding psychological perception.
