Barriers to physical activity among adolescents with asthma and obesity: a qualitative study of multiple stakeholders.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAdolescents living with both asthma and obesity face distinctive challenges to physical activity. Evidence that integrates the perspectives of adolescents, families, schools, and healthcare providers remains limited.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the barriers to physical activity faced by adolescents with concurrent obesity and asthma, and to understand the perceptions of patients, families, PE teachers, and healthcare providers regarding these challenges.
methodsA qualitative study was conducted with semi-structured interviews of 15 adolescents (12 to 18 years) and focus group discussions with 36 stakeholders (12 parents, 8 physical education teachers, and 16 healthcare providers). Data were analyzed inductively using thematic analysis in NVivo.
resultsFour themes were identified: (1) psychological and social barriers to physical activity (self-efficacy and identity struggles; social acceptance barriers); (2) family and school barriers to physical activity (family support dilemmas; school policy limitations); (3) community and tech adaptation gaps (barriers to community resource access; digital tool personalization gaps); and (4) collaborative support solutions (personalized activity plans; stakeholder collaboration needs).
conclusionsBarriers operate at intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, and community or technology levels. Co-designed and individualized activity plans and coordinated communication among families, schools, and healthcare may enhance participation. Existing digital tools require health-sensitive personalization and safety features to support adolescents with asthma and obesity.
