Psychometric evaluation of the exercise self-regulatory efficacy scale using objective measures of physical functioning in persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article in Respiratory medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPhysical activity (PA) promotion is an essential component of managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exercise self-efficacy is a primary indicator of exercise engagement. The Exercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy scale (Ex-SRES) was developed and validated in persons with COPD recruited at pulmonary rehabilitation programs who self-reported exercise behaviors. Our study evaluates its psychometric properties using objective assessments of PA and exercise capacity.
methodsSecondary analyses were performed on baseline assessments of U.S. Veterans with COPD who participated in two PA intervention studies (N = 210; age M = 69 ± 8; 97 % male; 91.9 % White). The Ex-SRES asked how confident participants felt they could exercise 3X/week for 20 min given 16 barriers. The Omron HJ-720 or Fitbit Zip pedometer assessed daily step counts for 7-10 days and the 6-min walk test (6 MWT) assessed exercise capacity. Breathlessness was assessed with the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC). The St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) assessed health-related quality of life; participants self-reported confidence and motivation for exercising regularly. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) assessed the underlying factor structure of the Ex-SRES and internal consistency reliability. Convergent validity was evaluated through correlations with objective and subjective measures.
resultsEFA resulted in a one-factor structure accounting for 58.28 % of the common variance. The Ex-SRES demonstrated convergent-type validity: daily step counts (ρ = .17), 6 MWT distance (ρ = .22), mMRC (ρ = -.15), SGRQ (ρ = -.24), motivation (ρ = .42), and confidence (ρ = .58) (p's < .05) and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α = .95)
conclusionObjective measures of PA and exercise capacity confirm the psychometric properties of the Ex-SRES.
