Figure Lengend Snippet: Pedometer intervention compared to alternative physical activity intervention for increasing physical activity

Article Snippet: Measured by accelerometer ActiGraph (GT3X) Statistical analysis Imputation of missing data: not reported by study authors Statistical analysis • Independent t‐test evaluated differences in participant characteristics and baseline activity levels between participants who completed the study with sufficient data and those who did not • One‐way ANOVA or Chi2 tests compared baseline differences between organisations and between intervention groups • Linear regression models (ANCOVA) were used to estimate the magnitude and corresponding 95% confidence intervals of intervention effects, with post‐intervention measures such as the dependent variable, the 3‐level categorical variables ‘organisation’ and ‘intervention’ as independent variables, and the corresponding baseline measure as a covariate Notes "These authors have no support or funding to report" Risk of bias Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk "Each organisation formed three groups of volunteers based on physical proximity."
