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

Introduction/Objective: Counseling about physical activity (PA) by doctors is influenced by their own attitudes towards physical activities and personal aerobic capacity levels. The study aims to explore 'gender-specific relationship' in Attitude Towards PA (ATPA), self-reported PA levels and Aerobic Capacity levels among senior medical students. Methods: In this cross-sectional study ( Results: Both genders showed a positive overall Kenyon score for ATPA (Females: Males 3.31:3.33). Females scored higher in the domains of health and fitness (4.15 Conclusion: Despite both genders having an equally positive overall ATPA, females prioritized health and stress reduction, while males value thrill and risk. The gap between attitude and PA behavior needs tailored, gender-specific intervention strategies.
