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 aim of this study was to explore the intention of Jordanian patients diagnosed with hyperlipidemia to engage in physical activity. This objective was achieved via an in-depth analysis of how patient attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control can influence patient intentions to exercise. Additionally, this research examined how sociodemographic factors and perceived barriers can impact patient participation in physical activity. METHODOLOGY: This study employed a cross-sectional approach on a convenience sample of Jordanian patients diagnosed with hyperlipidemia. To gain the required data, a 15-item questionnaire (derived from the Theory of Planned Behavior) was presented to the participants in the form of an online survey (via several platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and email).

resultsThe results indicate that perceived behavioral control had a significant correlation with the participants' intentions to participate in physical activity. Additionally, the findings revealed that there were no significant correlations between demographic features (age, marital status, level of education, and monthly income) and intention to engage in physical activity. However, the results ascertained the existence of several facilitators to exercise (such as financial resource availability, self-interest, beneficial weather conditions, and supportive friends or exercise partners). The most commonly reported barriers to physical activity included time constraints, work commitments, and limitations imposed by existing health conditions.

conclusionsThese findings provide valuable insights that can be employed to develop physical activity programs that address the cultural needs of Jordanian patients diagnosed with hyperlipidemia and enhance their levels of physical activity.
