The impact of 24-h activity patterns on executive function in older adults with chronic diseases: analysis of the isotonic substitution effect.

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
Objective: 24-h activity encompasses four categories: light-intensity physical activity (LPA), moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep (SP). This study aims to investigate the effects of different physical activity components on executive function in older adults with chronic diseases and to examine substitution effects among activity components. The findings provide scientific evidence to inform physical activity interventions for improving executive function in older adults with chronic diseases. Methods: A total of 105 older adults (72.64 ± 6.82 years) were recruited. Following questionnaire screening, 75 older adults with chronic diseases were ultimately included. Accelerometers objectively measured participants' daily SP, SB, LPA, and MVPA. Executive function was objectively assessed using the Stroop task, N-back task, and More-odd-shifting task. Component linear regression equation assessed the relationship between different activities and executive function in older adults with chronic diseases. The dose-response effects of "one-for-one" substitutions between different activity behaviors were explored. Results: Component linear regression results showed that SB positively correlated with inhibitory control ( Conclusion: SP and MVPA significantly improve inhibitory control in older adults with chronic diseases, while LPA significantly enhances their working memory. It is recommended that older adults with chronic diseases adjust their daily time structure by increasing diverse physical activities, ensuring adequate sleep duration, and reducing sedentary behavior to improve executive function.
