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

aimTo predict changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) when sedentary behaviour was hypothetically replaced with other movement behaviours (sleep, standing, light physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity) in adolescents.

methodsParticipants (N = 216; 12-17 years) provided measures of HRQoL and accelerometer-measured movement behaviours at two time-points, separated by 1 year. HRQoL was assessed with the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire. Compositional linear mixed models were used to estimate changes in HRQoL when time was reallocated from sedentary behaviour to other movement behaviours.

resultsFavourable changes in global HRQoL scores (Δ (95% CI)) were predicted when 30 min/day of sedentary behaviour was substituted with light physical activity in girls (2.0 (0.7, 3.3)), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in boys [1.8 (0.5, 3.2)], or sleep in all participants [0.4 (0.0, 0.8)]. Reallocating time from sedentary behaviour to standing had no impact on HRQoL.

conclusionSitting less, moving more is associated with better HRQoL in adolescents whilst replacing sitting with standing has no impact on HRQoL. The optimal intensity of movement for HRQoL differs between girls (light) and boys (moderate-to-vigorous).
