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

The COVID-19 pandemic led to strict public-health restrictions that affected opportunities for physical movement, including exercise participation. Understanding psychosocial factors of exercise under these conditions is vital for developing exercise promotion strategies. This study aimed to compare exercise perceptions and self-efficacy between exercising and non-exercising adults (>21 years old) in Kuwait during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among adults living in Kuwait during June and July 2020. Exercise status was self-reported based on a 150-min weekly exercise threshold. Participants completed the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) and the Barriers-Specific Self-Efficacy Scale (BARSE). Data were analysed using independent
