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

objectiveTo analyze current physical activity and exercise prescription plans in Spain, evaluating their level of implementation, the role of Primary Care, the involvement of nursing professionals, and the integration of community resources.

designA descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study based on documentary analysis of public, current, and official plans from the Autonomous Communities.

settingNational scope, within the context of Primary Care in the Spanish National Health System.

participantsPhysical activity and exercise prescription plans in force in Spain's 17 autonomous regions and 2 autonomous cities. A total of 11 official plans were included. Non-current documents or those over 15 years old were excluded.

main outcome measuresExistence of official plans, inclusion of Primary Care, recognition of nursing as prescribing professionals, incorporation of community assets, and presence of measures related to training, dissemination, research, and evaluation using indicators.

resultsEleven Autonomous Communities have active plans; ten explicitly include Primary Care, and eight specifically mention nurses as prescribing agents. A high degree of territorial variability was observed, particularly in evaluation (included in only 8 plans) and research (only 4). All plans integrate community resources. Training initiatives and intersectional collaboration measures are frequently included.

conclusionsThere is significant heterogeneity in the development and implementation of physical activity and exercise prescription plans across regions. The key role of nursing within Primary Care is evident. Coordinated models with common indicators, applied research, and intersectional collaboration are essential to ensure their effectiveness and sustainability.
