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: Physical activity is an effective adjunctive therapy in schizophrenia, improving psychiatric symptoms and reducing the mortality rate. However, individuals with schizophrenia engage in lower levels of physical activity compared to the general population, and adherence to structured exercise programs remains low. The factors underlying sustained engagement are still not well understood. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with adherence to an exercise intervention in individuals with schizophrenia and to explore whether personality characteristics are related to physical fitness outcomes. Methods: The present investigation was a secondary analysis of data from two randomized controlled trials conducted at the LMU Munich, which included Results: The results revealed no significant associations between any of the investigated variables and adherence after correction for multiple testing (all Discussion: Overall, the examined variables explained only a limited proportion of the variance in the two outcomes. These findings suggest that the investigated variables do not fully explain adherence or physical fitness and that both outcomes may be influenced by additional contextual determinants of exercise behavior in schizophrenia.
