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 accumulation of abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) has been closely correlated with an array of metabolic disorders and chronic inflammation. This study elucidated the joint effects of a dietary inflammatory index (DII) and vigorous intensity physical activity (PA) on VAT and SAT.

methodsThe study enrolled 3,444 adults sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The NHANES is designed with a sophisticated, multistage probability sampling methodology and is specifically tailored to comprehensively assess the health and nutritional conditions of the non-institutionalized population. Utilizing the initial 24 h dietary recall data from the NHANES database, our analysis incorporated 28 distinct food parameters for calculating the DII score. Multiple linear regression models are used to calculate the β value and 95% confidence interval of independent and dependent variables.

resultsCompared with the pro-inflammatory diet group, VAT and SAT in the anti-inflammatory diet group were lower [-21.60 (-32.63, -10.58, P < 0.01) and - 85.67 (-108.80, -62.55, P < 0.01)]. The VAT and SAT in the sufficient vigorous intensity PA group were lower than those in the insufficient vigorous intensity PA group [-27.13 (-38.40, -15.86), P < 0.01; -57.05 (-80.82, -33.27), P < 0.01]. There was a linear positive association between DII with VAT (P < 0.01, P for nonlinearity = 0.13) and SAT (P < 0.01, P for nonlinearity = 0.06). Additionally, there were significant L-shaped relationships between vigorous intensity PA with VAT and SAT (all log-likelihood ratio P < 0.05).

conclusionA lifestyle of anti-inflammatory diet incorporated with sufficient vigorous intensity PA was associated with lower VAT and SAT. Notably, the increase of vigorous intensity PA is associated with the decrease of VAT and SAT in the L-shaped relationships, suggesting that the vigorous intensity PA with at least 75 min per week may be related to greater benefits of VAT.
