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

objectiveTo analyze the association between accelerometer-measured sedentary time accumulation patterns and cardiometabolic risk severity in community-dwelling older adults.

methodsCross-sectional study (n = 248; 78% females; 66 ± 5 years). Sedentary time (ST; <100 counts/min) was assessed by a hip-worn accelerometer for seven days. Total ST (≥ 1 min) and ST in bouts of < 10 (short), 10–29 (medium), and ≥ 30 (prolonged) minutes were registered. Cardiometabolic risk severity was calculated using a continuous metabolic syndrome score (cMetS), comprising fasting glucose, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, waist circumference, and blood pressure. Data were analyzed using adjusted generalized linear models.

resultsParticipants spent 10.5 ± 1.6 h/day, 4.2 ± 0.8 h/day, 3.6 ± 0.8 h/day, and 2.7 ± 1.2 h/day, respectively, in total ST, short, medium, and prolonged ST bouts. Adjusted models revealed that total ST (β = 0.08; 95% CI 0.02 to 0.14), and ST in prolonged bouts (β = 0.16, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.27) were positively associated with cMetS, while ST in short bouts was negatively associated with cMetS (β= -0.18, 95% CI -0.31 to -0.05). In addition, older adults in the highest tertile of ST had higher cMetS for total ST (β = 0.24; 95% CI 0.02 to 0.46) and ST in prolonged bouts (β = 0.29; 95% CI 0.03 to 0.56), and lower cMetS for ST in short bouts (β = -0.25; 95% CI -0.46 to -0.04), compared to those in the lowest tertile. There was no association between ST in medium bout and cMetS (p > 0.05).

conclusionST in prolonged bouts was associated with higher cardiometabolic risk severity, whereas ST in short bouts was linked to lower risk in community-dwelling older adults.
