Effects of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Counseling on Physical Activity Benefits and Barriers.
Article in Health behavior and policy review, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: In this study, we identify PA benefits and barriers and changes in response to a 12-week interactive voice response (IVR)-supported PA telephone counseling intervention. Methods: Participants (N = 63) completed the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) at baseline and post-intervention. Exit interview responses to benefits and barriers items were analyzed qualitatively. Results: High exercise benefits and moderate barriers were reported at baseline. The intervention arm experienced a statistically significant greater improvement in barriers (but not benefits) from baseline to week 12, compared to the control arm. These relationships held when we controlled for sex, age, ethnicity, baseline PA, baseline barriers, and baseline benefits. Themes from interviews corroborated the lack of change in PA benefits and decreases in PA barriers and emphasized that support and accountability helped address barriers related to time and motivation. Conclusions: IVR-supported interventions show promise for improving perceived exercise barriers and possibly exercise benefits.
