Self-Monitoring and Its Effects on Physical Activity, Health Literacy, and Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Adults Receiving Long-Term Care.
Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundThis study examined the impact of a self-monitoring intervention on physical activity, health literacy, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in older adults receiving long-term care (LTC) in a non-randomized controlled trial (non-RCT).
methodsThis non-RCT included participants undergoing rehabilitation at a daycare center between January and April 2024. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 65 years, ambulatory status, and consent to participate. Those who did not meet LTC levels and those with dementia were excluded. Two-group comparisons at baseline were conducted using unpaired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. The effects of the intervention on step count, sedentary behavior, physical activity intensity, health literacy, and HRQOL were analyzed using a two-way mixed effects model with repeated measures with two factors: group (control, intervention) and time (baseline, 12-week follow-up), with 95% confidence intervals.
resultsThere were no significant differences between the intervention group (n = 36) and the control group (n = 26) at baseline. Interaction effects were significant for the step count, sedentary behavior, and HRQOL in repeated measures two-way mixed ANOVA for group (intervention and control) and time (baseline, 12-week follow-up) (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe self-monitoring intervention to promote physical activity in a non-RCT was found to increase steps, decrease sedentary behavior, and improve HRQOL in older adults receiving LTC.
