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 Global Matrix initiative aims to create a world map of indicators related to physical activity to provide the most up-to-date information for decision-making. In the latest edition, three regions from Spain joined the initiative, based on a 'glocal' approach. The objectives of this study were (i) to compare the grades of the Report Card and the public policies between and within the Spanish regions and with the national Report Card; (ii) to evaluate sex differences; and (iii) to identify differences in the policy priorities between regions and the national policy.

methodsThe three regions studied and the country followed a harmonized process to develop a Report Card. The common physical activity indicators included in the Global Matrix 4.0 were analysed. The Government indicator was analysed using an approved methodology. Additionally, sex-specific information was provided. Report Card leaders provided the main priorities to improve the indicators included in the analysis, and a comparison by indicator was performed.

resultsRegional differences were observed in the grades assigned to the behavioural indicators included; however, the average grades were similar, with Extremadura showing the lowest average. Grades for the sources of influence indicators differed in the analysed Report Cards.

conclusionRegional Report Cards analysed in Spain differ among themselves, with similar average grades in the behavioural indicators. These identified regional differences could lead to a more 'glocal' approach that will allow for more efficient action at the local level.
