Wearable devices and physical activity disparities: Insights from the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey.
Article in Health policy and technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between wearable device use and physical activity, as well as to assess the mediating role of wearable device use in the relationship between social disparities and achievement of recommended level of physical activity. Methods: Data from the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 6) ( Results: Among participants, 34.9 % used wearable devices, and 37.1 % achieved the recommended level of 150 min of weekly moderate-intensity physical activity. Wearable device users were 1.84 times more likely to achieve recommended physical activity goals than non-users. Significant mediation effects of wearable device use were found, mediating the association between female sex and higher education attainment with physical activity. Furthermore, among wearable users, Asians, and individuals with a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m Conclusions: Wearable device use exhibit sociodemographic patterns, influencing physical activity and potentially exacerbating health disparities. Promoting equitable usage of wearables and enhancing skills in utilizing wearable devices can significantly enhance physical activity levels, playing a pivotal role in reducing health disparities and fostering overall well-being.
