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

backgroundThe Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)+ 2020 has been utilized to measure readiness for physical activity (PA). However, it is unavailable in the Indonesian language. We aimed to adapt and evaluate the validity and reliability of the PAR-Q+ 2020 culturally for the Indonesian population and its application in general and family medicine.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study to adapt the PAR-Q+ 2020 to the Indonesian language. A face validity interview with 20 participants followed the translation and back-translation processes. Subsequently, an online questionnaire was distributed between June and October 2022, with 378 participants responding and a 72.2% response rate for the second test. Cohen's kappa was calculated to determine the intra-rater reliability of each item. Intra-class correlation (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha analyses were conducted to examine the first and second parts of the questionnaire and the overall intra-rater reliability and internal consistency of the questionnaire.

resultsThe median age of the participants was 27 years (range, 18-61 years), and 63% (n=172) were female. The Cohen's kappa value of each item ranged from to 0.801-1.000 (almost perfect to perfect agreement). The ICC values for the first and second parts and the overall questionnaire were 0.957, 0.993, and 0.987, respectively. Cronbach's alpha was adequate for the first part (α=0.958), second part (α=0.993), and overall questionnaire (α=0.987).

conclusionThe Indonesian version of the PAR-Q+ 2020 demonstrated reliability and preliminary evidence of its validity in measuring individual readiness for PA. Further studies involving a broader population and employing more comprehensive validation methods are necessary to establish its validity and applicability fully.
