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
Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity worldwide, and physical activity is crucial for managing blood pressure. This study investigates the role of religiosity/spirituality in physical activity among hypertensive individuals. A cross-sectional study with 237 participants from a Brazilian teaching hospital collected data on sociodemographics, clinical conditions, and physical activity, measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Religiosity/spirituality was assessed using the Duke University Religion Index and the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiosity and Spirituality. Logistic regression analysis identified significant factors associated with a sedentary lifestyle, including sex (OR: 2.10, 95% CI = 1.19-3.70, p < 0.05), comorbidities (OR: 1.35, 95% CI = 1.06-1.72, p < 0.05), and intrinsic religiosity (OR: 0.87, 95% CI = 0.77-0.97, p < 0.05). The results show that 39.2% of participants were sedentary, with female sex, comorbidities, and lower intrinsic religiosity predicting sedentary behavior. These findings highlight the potential of religiosity in influencing physical activity and lifestyle in hypertensive patients.
