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

backgroundThis study aimed to apply the COM-B model to understand the capabilities, opportunities, and motivations for walking behaviour among adults with intellectual disabilities.

methodsA qualitative study was conducted with adults (≥ 18 years) with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities living in Greater Glasgow using one-to-one interviews (n = 12; women = 5) and a photo-elicitation activity followed by a focus group discussion (n = 5; women = 1). The framework approach to analysis allowed for the influences of walking to be mapped onto the COM-B model.

resultsWalking is a complex behaviour with many capabilities, opportunities and motivations to consider. Adults with intellectual disabilities were involved in making decisions about what results should be prioritised.

conclusionsThe COM-B model is a flexible framework that can be applied to understand health behaviours of adults with intellectual disabilities. It is imperative to work with adults with intellectual disabilities throughout the research process.
