Meta-regression results showing the interaction between study characteristics and the standardized treatment effect on physical activity.a
| Covariate | Standardized mean difference (95% CI) | P value |
| Log (intervention duration [days]) | 0.0171 (−0.0338 to 0.0680) | .51 |
| Log (participant mean age [years]) | −0.00296 (−0.224 to 0.218) | .98 |
| Log (sample size) | −0.0616b (−0.111 to −0.0123) | .01 |
| Log (percentage male) | −0.0615 (−0.266 to 0.143) | .56 |
| Log (baseline step count) | −0.420c (−0.637 to −0.202) | <.001 |
| Log (baseline MVPAd [minutes]) | −0.199c (−0.288 to −0.109) | <.001 |
| Log (PRECIS-2e score) | −0.805f (−1.361 to −0.249) | <.001 |
| Log (RE-AIMg score) | −0.0277 (−0.177 to 0.122) | .72 |
| Log (risk-of-bias score) | −0.199 (−0.406 to 0.0690) | .06 |
aAll covariates were log transformed; therefore, the coefficients measure the associated change in the standardized treatment effect size from a 1% increase in the indicated variable.
