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

Introduction: This study applies the Social Ecological Model to examine multilevel determinants of physical activity among community-dwelling older adults within the context of China's sports-medical integration strategy. Methods: A cross-sectional field survey was conducted among 252 older adults in Xianyang. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was employed to evaluate the predictive effects of variables across four ecological levels on physical activity. Results: The model explained 67.3% variance in older adults' physical activity (R Discussion: Older adults' physical activity was jointly constrained by interactive individual, social and environmental barriers, accompanied by a prominent cognition-behavior gap. Under sports-medical integration, public health interventions should transform from passive medical treatment to targeted proactive health promotion by enhancing self-efficacy, optimizing peer social support networks, and improving the practical accessibility of sports facilities.
