Socioenvironmental determinants of nutrition and physical activity among middle-aged individuals at risk of CAD in southern Iran: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesTo explore the socioenvironmental factors affecting physical activity and nutritional behaviour in middle-aged individuals at risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).
designA qualitative approach using directed content analysis was employed. The data were collected through semistructured interviews. 20 participants were selected through purposive sampling with maximum variation. The interviews continued until data saturation. Guba and Lincoln's criteria were used to evaluate research transferability. The data management was done in MAXQDA V.20.
participants20 middle-aged participants at risk of CAD, recruited through purposive sampling with maximum variation from healthcare centres in Bandar Abbas city, Iran.
resultsThe data analysis yielded four main categories: (1) observational learning (subcategories: social media, dramatic performance, peer learning), (2) normative beliefs (subcategories: cultural norms, social acceptability), (3) social support (subcategories: emotional support, instrumental support, informational support) and (4) barriers and opportunities (subcategories: personal, environmental).
conclusionsFindings suggest that promoting physical activity and improving nutritional behaviour in middle-aged individuals at risk of CAD can be achieved through observational learning via social media and peers, addressing and improving cultural norms, developing emotional, instrumental and informational support and identifying and removing personal and environmental barriers.
