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

backgroundPhysical activity (PA) plays a fundamental role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2). However, findings regarding the influence of PA intensity on DM-2 over time remain inconsistent.

objectiveTo examine the dose-response association between leisure-time PA intensity trajectories and DM-2.

methodsThe study included data from the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil), at baseline (2008-2010) and from 11 years' follow-up, of 5777 women and 4590 men, aged from 35 to 75 years. Leisure-time PA intensity trajectories were assessed by means of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, while DM-2 was identified by self-reporting, use of medication or laboratory criteria. Ordinal logistical regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs).

resultsA lower proportion of participants with DM-2 (14.4% of men and 5% of women) and a higher proportion without diabetes (22.1% of men and 40.8% of women) were observed in those with a high-intensity trajectory. Compared to the moderate-intensity trajectory, high-intensity conferred protection against DM-2 (OR=0.63 [95% CI=0.40-0.98]) for men and women (OR=0.33 [95% CI=0.14-0.79]) and the low-intensity trajectory conferred a greater chance of pre-diabetes among men OR=1.36 [95% CI=1.09-1.69].

conclusionHigher-intensity PA over time was associated with a lower proportion of DM-2 cases among men and women. Thus, programs aimed at preventing and controlling DM-2 should emphasize the importance of maintaining high-intensity activities over time.
