The health-esteem model of motivation for exercise goals: A preliminary study.
Article in Health psychology open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The Health-Esteem Model identifies four health-behavior motivational variables that involve thinking about self-determined ideals: health-esteem, goal alignment, goal feasibility, and goal investment. This study provides a psychometric foundation for using this model to understand motivation for exercise. A sample of 401 participants considering or pursuing exercise goals completed an online survey containing a new questionnaire assessing the four Health-Esteem Model variables, along with three measures of exercise and eight existing scales assessing types of personal motivation for exercise. The new scales each produced robust correlations with exercise, explained variance that could not be explained by existing scales, and demonstrated unique associations with scales involving similar types of evaluation. The sales had bell-shaped distributions with high ceilings, adequate test-information curves, and good fit to an expected factor structure. This study provides strong psychometric support for Health-Esteem Model variables which are theoretically important for health intervention research and distinct from existing scales.
