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

Background: With the shift in modern lifestyles, the relationship between physical activity (PA) and health has emerged as a significant concern in global public health. A sedentary lifestyle poses a substantial threat to cardiovascular health, particularly through the development of atherosclerosis, the primary pathological basis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a condition influenced by various lifestyle factors. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a critical indicator for predicting cardiovascular disease risk, assesses an individual's risk of atherosclerosis by reflecting the ratio of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) to triglycerides (TG). Despite the recognized importance of PA, the impact of various physical activity patterns on AIP remains unclear. Methods: This study utilized the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from the United States. PA was assessed via a questionnaire, and participants were categorized into four groups: inactive, insufficiently active, weekend warriors (WW), and regularly active (RA). The AIP was calculated via the ratio of HDL-C to TG, with covariates such as age, sex, race, and body mass index controlled. Multivariate regression analysis served as the primary analytical method. Results: This study included a total of 24,504 participants. After adjusting for all potential covariates, RA (β=-0.044, Conclusion: RA is more effective in reducing AIP than WWs are. For inactive adults, engaging in more than 510 minutes of PA per week significantly reduces the AIP.
