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

backgroundLow levels of physical activity (PA) among adolescents with intellectual disabilities are a serious health concern that increases the risk for chronic health conditions. This scoping review examines technology utilisation that supports PA engagement among adolescents with intellectual disabilities.

methodsGuided by Arksey and O'Malley's framework, major web-based searches were conducted. Methodological quality was assessed using the Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool.

resultsForty-five studies met eligibility. Forty-four studies utilised technology devices to quantify PA behaviours and address measurement practices. Limited studies utilised technology to influence PA engagement, but suggested the potential value for improving PA participation, duration and intensity to support this population.

conclusionsFindings highlight the limited utilisation of technology to assist with supporting PA among adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Further, there is a need to emphasise the incorporation of adolescents' perspectives in the development and implementation of future technology-driven interventions to improve PA engagement.
