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

backgroundPhysical activity is an important behavioural determinant of health that can be influenced by designing a physical activity-friendly environment. The aim of this work was to develop survey instruments for walkability and bikeability for the prevention reporting of the federal states.

methodsAs part of the project "Monitoring physical activity and promoting exercise - developing indicators for the federal states' prevention indicator system in Germany (KAB-Mon)" (01/05/2023-30/04/2026), the development and review of two instruments designed to subjectively assess the two prevention indicators walkability and bikeability were carried out in three steps. In Step 1, a systematic literature review was conducted. In Step 2, an expert survey followed in which 9 and 7 experts from 6 disciplines evaluated the items of both instruments using the specific criteria in an online survey. Step 3 involved cognitive testing through guided interviews with a total of 18 participants. The expert survey was analysed using mean comparisons, while the cognitive interviews were evaluated descriptively.

resultsBased on the expert feedback, the walkability instrument was shortened from 16 to 13 items, and the bikeability instrument from 19 to 14 items. Following the cognitive testing, both instruments were supplemented with a fifth response option ("don't know/no answer"). DISCUSSION: The instruments developed through this project provide a solid scientific approach for the subjective assessment of walkability and bikeability in the German-speaking context.
