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

Background: To determine the relationship between health- and skill-related physical fitness indicators and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) in Chinese adults. Methods: A total of 925 participants (483 males and 442 females) in Longhua district, Shenzhen, China were included in this study. Physical fitness assessments were conducted using an all-in-one machine. CMRFs, including blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose concentration, lipid and lipoprotein profiles and uric acid, were measured with standard methods. Linear regression models were used for analysis. Results: Among health-related physical fitness indicators, body fat mass, body fat percentage and sit-and-reach score were positively associated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and/or systolic blood pressure, while step index score was inversely associated with DBP in the fully adjusted models (all Conclusion: In conclusion, our study unveils the interplay between various health- and skill-related physical fitness indicators and CMRFs in healthy adults. These findings underscore that improvements in physical fitness, specifically body composition, cardiovascular fitness, and reaction time, were associated with favorable CMRF profiles.
