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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Many people with advanced multiple sclerosis (MS) and their care-partners do not engage in sufficient physical activity (PA) for health benefits. We developed "Physical Activity Together for MS (PAT-MS)", a 12-week dyadic behavioural intervention, to promote PA among these dyads. Herein, we evaluated the feasibility of PAT-MS before a definitive trial. Methods: A randomized controlled feasibility trial, with 1:1 allocation into the intervention or wait-list control condition. Predefined progression criteria included rates of Results: The Conclusion: PAT-MS appears feasible, safe, and efficacious for PA promotion in MS dyads. We established effect size estimates to power a future definitive trial and identified necessary methodological changes to increase the efficiency of study procedures and improve the quality of the intervention. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04267185; Registered February 12, 2020, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04267185.
