Group, Subgroup and Person-Specific Longitudinal Associations Between Physical Activity and Affect in Individuals With and Without Depressive and Anxiety Disorders.
Article in International journal of methods in psychiatric research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesAssociations between physical activity and affect (activity-affect dynamics) vary among individuals for which reasons remain unclear. We examined whether such heterogeneity is explained by psychiatric status or sociodemographic, clinical, and ambulatory assessment characteristics.
methodsTwo-week ambulatory assessment data of 300 participants with current (n = 79), subthreshold (n = 67), and no (n = 154) depressive and/or anxiety disorders or symptoms were obtained from the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety. Positive and negative affect (PA/NA) were assessed with ecological momentary assessment (5xdaily) and physical activity using actigraphy. Group iterative multiple model estimation was used to model associations shared across the sample, psychiatric subgroups, and those specific to individuals.
resultsNo activity-affect associations were shared across the sample (i.e., present in > 75% of all individuals) or psychiatric subgroups (i.e., present in > 51% of individuals within subgroups). Nevertheless, 45% of participants had at least one activity-affect association, with considerable heterogeneity in their nature. The most frequent association was a positive contemporaneous association between physical activity and PA (present in 25% of the sample).
conclusionsThese findings suggest large heterogeneity in activity-affect dynamics among individuals and underscore the importance of considering the unique dynamics of the individual.
