Trial report in Annals of medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03434899 (Effects of Physical Activity With Online Support for Individuals With Chronic Widespread Pain), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

Abstract

backgroundRegular physical activity improves symptoms and overall health in people with chronic widespread pain. However, many struggle to stay active over time, highlighting the need for strategies that support long-term physical activity. PURPOSE: To investigate if person-centred health plans that include physical activity can support participants with chronic widespread pain to increase and maintain their level of physical activity and improve in physical function after 12 months, and to analyse factors that characterise those who achieve the level of physical activity recommended by the World Health Organization. MATERIALS AND

methodsA secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial was conducted. Participants (

resultsAt baseline, 55% of the participants reached the recommended level of physical activity, as compared to 62% at the follow-up. A higher baseline level of physical activity (OR [95% CI]: 1.23 [1.04, 1.47]) and a positive experience of physical activity in terms of physical relaxation (OR [95% CI]: 0.64 [0.42, 0.97]) were associated with an increased likelihood of achieving the recommended physical activity level.

conclusionParticipants with positive experiences of physical activity were more likely to achieve the recommended physical activity level. Patients with negative experiences may need more support to reach a higher physical activity level.
