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

backgroundThe relationship between lifetime physical activity and the risk of developing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is not known.

methodsWe studied 1381 patients referred for elective coronary angiography in a point prevalence analysis. PAD was defined as ankle-brachial index (ABI) <0.9 at the time or a history of revascularization of the lower extremities regardless of ABI measure. We used a validated physical activity questionnaire to retrospectively measure each patient's lifetime recreational activity (LRA). Multivariate and logistic regression analyses were used to assess the independent association of LRA to ABI and the presence of PAD.

resultsPAD was present in 19% (n = 258) of all subjects. Subjects reporting no regular LRA had greater diastolic blood pressure and were more likely to be female. They had lower average ABI, and a higher proportion had PAD (25.6%). In a regression model, including traditional risk factors and LRA, multivariate analysis showed that age (P < .001), female gender (P < .001), systolic blood pressure (P = .014), fasting glucose (P < .001), serum triglycerides (P = .02), and cumulative pack years (P < .001) were independent negative predictors of ABI, and LRA was a positive predictor of ABI (P < .001). History of sedentary lifestyle independently increased the odds ratio for PAD (odds ratio, 0.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-2.10) when assessed by logistic regression. Intriguingly, there is a correlation between physical activity and gender, such that women with low LRA are at greatest risk.

conclusionRecalled LRA is positively correlated to ABI and associated with PAD. Whereas the mechanism for this effect is not clear, LRA may be a useful clinical screening tool for PAD risk, and strategies to increase adult recreational activity may reduce the burden of PAD later in life.
