Mediating effects of physical activity enjoyment on physical activity levels in adults with cystic fibrosis.

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
Background: This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of physical activity enjoyment (PAE) on various physical activity (PA) levels in adult people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) concerning disease-specific and non-disease-specific factors. Methods: A total of 168 adult pwCF (39.3% females; mean age 36.7 ± 11.9 years) completed questionnaires assessing PAE (Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale, PACES) and PA levels (7-day Physical Activity Recall, PAR). Participants' demographics (age, sex) and clinical characteristics [ppFEV1; percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and BMI; body mass index (kg/m2)]) were extracted from medical records. Mediation analysis was used to examine the direct and indirect effects of disease-specific and non-disease-specific factors on PA, considering PAE as a potential mediator. Results: Correlation analyses indicated a weak but statistically significant association between ppFEV1 and very vigorous physical activity (VVPA) (r = 0.177; Conclusions: Our findings underscore the importance of both physiological and psychological factors in shaping PA among adults with CF. Beyond traditional clinical management, strategies that enhance PAE may be crucial for promoting sustained PA engagement. Future research should examine additional psychological and environmental factors influencing PAE and develop comprehensive approaches to support active lifestyles in this population.
