Configurational paths to promoting physical activity among older adults with type 2 diabetes in China: an fsQCA study based on the multi-theory model.

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: To deeply analyzes the configurational paths to promoting physical activity in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), revealing the impact of different combinations of various factors on physical activity. Methods: This study applied fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to identify combinations of Multi-theory Model (MTM) constructs associated with higher physical activity levels. Results: A total of 1119 older adults with T2DM were included. A single influencing factor does not constitute a necessary condition for promoting physical activity in older adults with T2DM. In contrast, two combinations of the seven influencing factors led to high level of physical activity, and substitutability and complementarity were observed among the various factors of the configuration path. Conclusion: This study confirmed that the formation of physical activity in older adults with T2DM has multiple concurrent causal relationships and multiple configuration paths. By revealing the synergy among factors, the MTM framework has been expanded. This study offers a novel configuration perspective for understanding the physical activity behavior of this population and provides key evidence for designing diverse physical activity management measures.
