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

backgroundPeople incarcerated have limited access to physical activity and there are challenges to accurately measure their physical activity in jail settings. We aimed to (1) determine the feasibility of time use diaries to measure physical activity and sedentary time among people incarcerated in jail and (2) estimate time spent in physical activity and sedentary behaviors, overall and by gender and job assignment.

methodsIn July 2023, we recruited women and men from two housing units at Yavapai County Detention Facility, a county jail in Camp Verde, Arizona. Participants were asked to complete a four-day time use diary, documenting activities in 10-minute increments. Participants provided feedback about the diary during listening sessions after the four-day period. Feasibility was measured as the proportion of people recruited who participated and the proportion of completed and returned diaries. Activities documented in the diaries were linked to the Compendium of Physical Activities to determine intensity and duration of physical activity and sedentary behavior. Average daily time spent in physical activity and sedentary behavior was calculated for each participant.

resultsOf the 24 women and 41 men recruited, 24 (100%) women and 40 (97.5%) men agreed to participate in the study. All diaries were returned. Most (82.8%) participants completed all four days in the diary. Participants were enthusiastic about filling out the diaries because they helped pass the time and felt the work would further knowledge and wellbeing in jails. Participants made concrete recommendations including altering the diary format to allow for additional detail about their time in jail. Participants spent on average 571 minutes sedentary, 79 minutes in light activity, and 60 minutes in moderate activity per day. Women spent 66 more minutes per day engaged in light activities compared to men. Women with job assignments spent 179 less minutes in sedentary behavior and 245 more minutes in moderate activity compared to women who did not have a job assignment.

conclusionsTime use diaries are a feasible and appropriate way to measure physical activity and sedentary behavior among people incarcerated in jail.
