Joint associations of device-measured step count and sleep duration with incident major adverse cardiovascular events: prospective analysis of the UK Biobank.

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
Background: The interaction between physical activity and sleep with cardiovascular disease remains poorly understood, despite both being key risk factors. This study investigated the independent and joint associations of device-measured step count and sleep duration with incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Methods: Prospective analysis of UK Biobank participants who wore a wrist-based accelerometer for seven days between 2013 and 2015. Open-source machine learning algorithms derived daily step count and overnight sleep duration. The outcome was incident MACE (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke, or revascularisation procedure), identified through electronic health record linkage. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine independent and joint associations of median daily step count (low [<7500], intermediate [7500-11,000], high [>11,000]) and median overnight sleep duration (short [<6.5 h], intermediate [6.5-7.5 h], long [>7.5 h]) with incident MACE. Findings: Among 88,012 participants (mean age 62.2 years [standard deviation, SD 7.8]), 3817 were diagnosed with MACE during follow-up (median 7.9 years [interquartile range, IQR 7.3-8.4]). Low step count and short sleep duration were independently associated with a higher risk of MACE, but there was no evidence of an interaction between step count and sleep duration ( Interpretation: The results of this study show that higher daily step count does not fully attenuate the higher risk of cardiovascular disease associated with short sleep duration, reinforcing the importance of sufficient levels of both daily step count and sleep for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
