Recreation as a Potential Stress-Relief Mechanism for People Incarcerated in Jail.
Article in Journal of correctional health care : the official journal of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Incarceration is a significant stressor with long-term health implications. Limited autonomy in jail restricts stress-reducing opportunities, but recreation time (rec-time) may help mitigate stress. We estimated the association between rec-time attendance and stress among people incarcerated in a rural Southwestern U.S. jail. From 2017 to 2018, we recruited participants from Coconino County Detention Facility for a cross-sectional health study. Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and reported rec-time attendance. A log-binomial regression estimated prevalence ratios for rec-time and stress. Among 199 participants, those who never attended rec-time had higher stress levels (PSS score greater than 8) than those who always attended, including in the past 24 hours (percentile rank = 2.08, 95% confidence interval: 1.23, 3.52). Regular rec-time attendance may reduce stress, warranting further research on causal links and activity types.
