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

purposeTo explore the experiences of low-income community-dwelling older adults with the physical, cognitive, sociocultural, and behavioral effects of physical activity measured with an activity tracker.

methodThe current qualitative descriptive study was conducted among participants in the Physio-Feedback Exercise Program, who were aged ≥60 years and from low-income settings in Central Florida (

resultsFive interrelated themes were developed from participants' experiences, including (1)

conclusionPhysical activity monitored with an activity tracker enhanced engagement and overall well-being among community-dwelling older adults. Health care providers and caregivers should encourage physical activity and monitoring with an activity tracker to improve well-being in this population.
