Association Between Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, and Quality of Life in Patients with Chagas Disease During COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundCOVID-19 led to social isolation, potentially reducing physical activity (PA), increasing sedentary time, and lowering quality of life (QoL). This study investigated the association between these factors in patients with Chagas disease (ChD) during the pandemic.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 187 patients with ChD. PA and sedentary time were assessed by the IPAQ-short and QoL by the WHOQOL-Bref. The relationship between PA levels and sedentary time with QoL were assessed using unadjusted and adjusted generalized linear models.
resultsThe highest tertile of total PA was positively associated with the psychological (Exp β = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.02-1.22) and environmental (Exp β = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.01-1.23) QoL domains. The intermediate (Exp β = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.01-1.25) and highest (Exp β = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.02-1.27) tertiles of moderate-to-vigorous PA were positively associated with the physical domain. Similarly, both the intermediate (Exp β = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.01-1.22) and highest (Exp β = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.01-1.21) tertiles of moderate-to-vigorous PA were positively associated with the psychological domain. The highest tertile of sedentary time was associated with a decrease in the physical domain (Exp β = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.79-0.98).
conclusionsHigher levels of total and moderate-to-vigorous PA were associated with better QoL, while greater sedentary time was associated with poorer QoL.
