Association Between Daily Steps Measured by Accelerometry and Diabetes in ELSA-Brasil Participants.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and alterations in lipid and protein metabolism. Daily step count, measured using accelerometers integrated into wearable devices with artificial intelligence support, represents an important indicator of physical activity for the prevention and management of DM when performed regularly at a minimum daily volume.
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the association between daily step count and DM and to determine the daily step cutoff point necessary to provide a protective effect among participants in the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (LSAH).
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional study that analyzed data from Wave 3 (2016-2018), including 12,636 participants. DM was the dependent variable, assessed by laboratory tests, and daily step count was the independent variable, measured by accelerometry. Associations were assessed using logistic regression, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsA significant association was observed between daily step count and DM (OR = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.70-0.83). A cutoff point of 6880 steps/day was identified, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.58 (95% CI: 0.57-0.59).
conclusionDaily step count appears to be associated with a protective effect against DM.
