Six to seven times less likely to be physically active: Low self-determination and basic psychological needs support in women with endometriosis-A cluster analysis.

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
purposeTo explore how clusters of motivational regulations, self-determination, and basic psychological needs (BPNs) relate to physical exercise participation in women with endometriosis.
methodsThis cross-sectional online study included women aged ≥ 18 years with endometriosis. The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 (BREQ-3) was used to assess motivational regulations and the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES) to evaluate BPNs-autonomy (sense of choice), competence (confidence in ability), and relatedness (sense of connection and belonging)-followed by a two-step cluster analysis to identify motivational profiles. Associations with physical activity were tested using logistic regression (adjusted for pain score, education level, skin color, and marital status).
resultsA total of 508 women (mean age = 34 ± 7 years) participated in the study. Women in the more controlled behavior cluster (OR = 6.14; 95% CI = 3.72-10.1) and in the BPN more thwarted cluster (OR = 7.61; 95% CI = 4.25-12.8) were significantly less likely to engage in physical activity compared to those in the more autonomous behavior - driven by personal interest - and in the more BPN satisfied cluster.
conclusionsWomen with endometriosis with diminished self-determination and low BPNs support profile were six to seven times less likely to participate in physical activity, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to enhance motivation and exercise adherence.
