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

objectiveThe aim is to develop the scale of Physical Activity Counseling Practices (PACPS) in Turkish and validate it among health professionals.

methodsPACPS test-retest was applied to 162 health professionals (physician, physiotherapist, dietician, nurse) with a 1-week interval. Construct validity, correlations of PACPS with other scales were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ), Conscious Behavioral Physical Activity Questionnaire (CBAPQ).

resultsThe content validity index value of the scale was found to be 0.76. The overall internal consistency of the scale (Cronbach α:0.917) was high. The item-total correlations of the scale are between 0.45 and 0.76.

conclusionThis study, it was determined that the PACPS scale has good internal consistency, test-retest validity and sufficient construct validity when compared with the IPAQ and CBAPQ.
