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
aimThe aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the physical activity levels and cognitive perceptions of physicians and the frequency of exercise prescribed by primary care physicians.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 221 primary care physicians. A questionnaire of three sections was administered, including questions prepared according to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommendations evaluating the current practices of the physicians on the subject of prescribing exercise, the General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPPAQ), Cognitive Behavioural Physical Activity Questionnaire (CBPAQ).
resultsA significant relationship was determined between the daily physical activity of the physician and exercise prescribing rates (
conclusionIncorporating exercise prescription training into the core medical and family medicine curricula may increase physicians' self-efficacy and contribute to overcoming barriers in prescribing exercise.
