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

In the United States and around the world, physical inactivity is a leading cause of morbidity, disability, and premature mortality. While the importance of physical activity is known, there is a disconnect in how we are translating it to our patients. This may be due to poor physical activity education during undergraduate and graduate medical education. Despite the paucity of physical activity prescription education and competence, there are ample resources within the community. It is time for physicians to take an active role in optimizing patient lifestyle and helping prevent or mitigate chronic diseases.
